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, with Team Canada currently sitting at 23 medals, including seven gold.

What to watch from Team Canada on Day 14

Here's what you may have missed on Day 14, including a stunning gold-medal relay race on the track, and a bronze-medal finish in the canoe.

For the second time in the country's history, the Canadian men's relay team is the fastest in the world.

In a stunning upset, Canada's quartet of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse came from behind to claim the gold medal in electrifying fashion in the men's 4x100 relay final on Friday, running a blistering 37.50s — a season's best time despite wet and soggy conditions inside Stade de France.

None of Canada's four runners even made the final in the men's 100m or 200m individual events.

De Grasse, who ran an incredible anchor leg despite a lingering hamstring injury, is now tied with swimmer Penny Oleksiak as Canada's most decorated Olympian with 7 medals.

It's Canada's second-ever gold in the event, with the 1996 team featuring Donovan Bailey winning it all 28 years ago in Atlanta. The triumph brings Canada's medal count in Paris to 23, including seven gold.

Moments earlier, the women's 4x100 team finished sixth in the final, with Sade McCreath, Jacqueline Madogo, Marie-Eloise Leclair and Audrey Leduc running a time of 42.69 seconds.

Katie Vincent and Sloan MacKenzie got Day 14 off to a great start, lifting Canada's medal haul in Paris to 22 with a third-place finish in the women's doubles 500-metre sprint canoe final.

Vincent and MacKenzie finished the final in one minute 54.36 seconds, behind China's Mengya Sun and Shixiao Xu, who won gold. The Canadian pair got off to a strong start before falling behind China and eventually getting caught by Ukraine, who made a late push to pick up the silver medal in a very close finish.

For Vincent, this is her second Olympic medal win after earning bronze in this very event three years ago in Tokyo. Vincent won that medal with former teammate Laurence Vincent-Lapointe.
