Canadian divers Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zasombor-Murray have won a bronze medal in the 10m synchro diving at the ongoing Olympic Games in France.

It is the first time Canada has won a medal in the men's event. On the other hand, Canada's women's team defeated France 2-1 in the football competition, with which the Canadian team's hopes for a medal are intact.

Vanessa Gilles scored the winning goal despite being injured. Before this, Canada's team defeated New Zealand's team 2-1 in the group match last Thursday, but later FIFA deducted 6 points from the team in the case of spying with drones. Now the Canada team's spirits have been boosted by the victory against France.
