Olympic highlights for July 29

• 17-year-old Canadian swimmer and world record-holder Summer McIntosh won gold in the final of her signature 400-metre individual medley on Monday, beating several of the world’s best swimmers in one of the sport’s most gruelling races.
• Top-ranked Canadian judoka Christa Deguchi won Olympic gold against Huh Mimi of South Korea in the women’s 57-kg category on Monday. The two-time world champion is making her Olympic debut this summer, and she hasn’t missed the podium in an international competition since August 2023.
• Canada’s men’s synchronized diving duo Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray won bronze in the 10-metre platform event Monday morning in a nail-biter that came down to the final dive. It is Canada’s first-ever medal in the event.
• The Canada Olympic Committee and Canada Soccer are appealing a six-point deduction imposed by FIFA on the Canadian women’s soccer team during the Olympic tournament which they say is disproportionate to violations related to the ongoing drone-spying scandal. The Court of Arbitration for Sport says it will hear the appeal Tuesday and decide by Wednesday morning.

Fernandez later teamed with Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski to record a 6-1, 7-5 (5) win over France’s Clara Burel and Varvara Gracheva in women’s doubles. Serbia’s Novak Djokovic beat Spain’s Rafael Nadal in a much-anticipated second-round showdown at the Paris Olympics men’s singles tournament, possibly the last encounter between the two tennis titans.
• Basketball: The fifth-ranked Canada women’s basketball team lost 54-75 to hosts France, shooting 33 per cent from the field across the game and coughing up 11 turnovers that led to 16 points for France in the first half alone.
• Gymnastics: Team Canada’s men’s gymnastics team finished eighth in the finals, with Japan securing gold, China earning silver and the United States finishing with bronze.
• Boxing: Canadian boxer Wyatt Sanford dominated in his Olympic debut with a victory over Bulgaria’s Radoslav Rosenov in the men’s 63.5-kilogram Round of 16 on Monday. Sanford and Montreal’s Tammara Thibeault, who’s competing in the women’s 75-kg division, are the only Canadian boxers in Paris and are aiming to end a Canadian boxing medal dry spell that dates back 1996.
• Canada advances to semis in women’s rugby sevens, Canadian street skateboarder misses the podium in men’s finals and Hungary beats Canada in women’s water polo
