Here’s what has happened today, August 2, at the Olympics

• Decathlon: After day one of the men’s decathlon, Canadian and Olympic record-holder Damian Warner ranks at fourth place. He began his defence of his gold medal on a strong note early Friday morning, finishing first in the 100-metre heats to kick-off the the two-day event. He was unable to clear 2.05-metre in the high jump event and bows out with his clearance of 2.02-metres. Warner also placed sixth in the heats for the 400-metre race.
• Golf: Round two of the men’s individual stroke golf play has concluded with Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor ranking 13th and 46th, respectively.
• Figure Skating: Canadian figure skaters won’t be on the podium in Paris next week when the IOC hands out medals for the Beijing 2022 team event marred by a Russian doping scandal. The Court of Arbitration of Sport dismissed Canada’s appeal for the bronze medal, after it placed fourth behind now-disqualified Russia, a decision Skate Canada says is “disappointing.”
• Kayak: Kayak cross makes its debut at the Olympics this summer, and first-time Olympian Alex Baldoni, representing Canada in the men’s event, has advanced after coming in 24th in the time trial Friday morning. Meanwhile, Canada’s Lois Betteridge placed last in the women’s trial but will still advance.
• Track: Team Canada’s Mohammed Ahmed narrowly missed the podium in the last seconds of the men’s 10,000-metre final. Uganda took gold, Ethiopia won silver and USA finished with a bronze medal.
• Hammer Throw: Canadian Rowan Hamilton has already thrown a personal best and clinched one of 12 qualifying spots, while teammate Ethan Katzberg also qualified after throwing the best round in his heat. Canada’s Adam Keenan threw his season’s best but placed eighth in his group and won’t advance.
• Rowing: Team Canada’s women’s double light scull team came in second in their B final, while Great Britain took gold, Romania claimed silver and Greece nabbed bronze.
