Olympic highlights for Aug. 5

• Diving: Caeli McKay qualified for the finals of the women’s 10-metre platform diving after ranking seventh in the semi-finals this morning. After she was deprived of an Olympic spot in the event in 2021 due to a severe ankle injury, McKay has her sights set on making the podium. The finals are set for Aug. 6 at 9 a.m. ET.
• Track and Field: After the women’s pole vault qualifications this morning, Team Canada’s Alysha Newman has qualified for the finals after being tied for seventh in the qualifying round. Anicka Newell has not advanced in 26th place.
• Triathlon: The mixed relay took place today at 2 a.m. ET and saw Germany take gold, USA, silver and Great Britain with bronze. The triathlon event comes after Belgium said Sunday they are withdrawing from the event after one of their athletes who swam in the Seine River fell ill. Swiss officials said it was “impossible to say” whether the illness is linked to the swim.
• Artistic swimming: The Canadian artistic swimming team made its Paris Olympic debut on Monday, in seventh place at the end of the technical event. They will perform twice more this week – the free routine is on Tuesday and the acrobatic program is on Wednesday – with each score being cumulative.
