While the watching experience and timing for the 2024 Paris Olympics isn't quite as challenging for Canadian viewers as it was for Tokyo 2020 or Beijing 2022, a good chunk of action during these Games happens when plenty of Canadians are fast asleep.

Whether you were crushing some zzz's, busy at work, had family activities to partake in or just didn't have a chance to tune in, we have you covered throughout these Olympics from start to finish.

Team Canada currently sits at 25 medals, which marks Canada's highest-ever total at a non-boycotted Summer Olympics.

What to watch from Team Canada on Day 15:

Track:

  • Marco Arop will compete in the men’s 800m final at 1:15 p.m. ET

  • Thomas Fafard will run in the men’s 5000m final at 1:45 p.m. ET

  • Canada’s women’s 4x400m relay team will race for a medal in the final at 3:15 p.m. ET

Here's what you may have missed on Day 15, including a historic gold medal that has set a new standard for Canada at the Summer Games.

One day after winning bronze with her doubles canoe partner, Sloan Mackenzie, Canada's Katie Vincent was back on the podium, this time with a gold medal after claiming first place in the women's single 200-metre canoe final on Saturday morning.

The Mississauga, Ont., native's win came down to a photo finish as her canoe crossed the line at nearly the same time as that of American Nevin Harrison, who won silver. After a brief pause at the finish line, Vincent eventually would raise her hand as the gold medallist, finishing with a time of 44.12 seconds, just one one-hundredth of a second quicker than Harrison, who finished in 44:13 seconds.

Vincent's gold-medal performance was a historic finish for a few different reasons, most notably the fact that her time has set a new world record in the women's C-1 200-metre competition. The win also represents Canada's first-ever Olympic gold medal in any women's kayak or canoe event.

With Vincent's gold on Saturday morning — along with the other 24 medals Canada has won in Paris — Team Canada has now eclipsed the 24 medals won in Tokyo three years ago, making the 2024 Olympics Canada's most successful non-boycotted Summer Games ever. Canada now has eight gold medals to go along with six silver and 11 bronze medals.

As is tradition, Canadians from coast to coast were quick to share their excitement for Vincent on social media.
