From De Grasse to Oleksiak: Canada at Rio, by the Numbers

The 2016 Olympics in Rio have officially come to an end, and what a fun, controversial, entertaining, and unique Summer Games it was.

There was a little bit of something for everyone—we witnessed Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps continue their greatness, Brazil win soccer gold on home soil, LochteGate and the ensuing fallout from the bizarre incident involving American swimmers, and a man display perseverance by finishing his 50-kilometre race walk after passing out and shitting himself.

For Canadians, it was an event to remember as new stars emerged and old ones returned. Team Canada surpassed all expectations in one of the nation's most successful Olympic Games in history, by winning…

22 medals, the country's most ever at a non-boycotted Summer Games.

Canada's performance in this summer's Olympic Games will go down as one of the nation's best ever. Canada surpassed the Olympic Committee's goals of a top-12 finish and 19 medals, finishing 10th in the standings with 22 medals, the most by Canada at a non-boycotted Summer Games, matching the 1996 total from Atlanta.

After years of struggling, Canada finally figured out how to get onto the podium this summer, taking home…

4 coveted gold medals, the most Canada has won in a Summer Games since 1992.

In her first Olympic Games, 27-year-old Erica Wiebe captured gold in the women's 75-kilogram wrestling final, delivering Canada's historic fourth gold medal of the Games. With her medal, Wiebe continues Canada's medal streak in women's wrestling, as Canada's female wrestlers have now medaled in every Olympics since the sport's debut in 2004.

But Wiebe wasn't the only Canadian female to impress in Rio, as the country's female athletes accounted for a whopping…

87 percent of Canadian medal winners.

Team Canada sent its highest-ever percentage of women to the Summer Games — about 60 percent of Canada's 279-athlete team— and for the first time in 40 years the Canadian women won the majority of the nation's medals, taking home 16 of 22.

Canada's women also won two team sport medals, capturing bronze in soccer and rugby, the latter which hadn't been an Olympic event in…

92 years, and now Canada's women own bronze in the sport's return.

Most Canadians probably hadn't watched much rugby before this summer's Olympics, but after a 92-year hiatus, rugby sevens captured the hearts of many in Rio, and so, too, did the Canadian women.

The Canadian women, who came into the Olympics under the radar but with high hopes, ranking No. 3 in the world, did not disappoint. The women became the first Canadian team to ever win a rugby medal at the Olympics, capturing bronze in a 33-10 win over Great Britain. They weren't the only team of Canadian women to score in Rio, as Christine Sinclair powered the women's soccer team and notched goal number…

165 of her international career to lead the Canadian women's soccer team to its second consecutive Olympic bronze.

Sinclair made her international soccer debut at age 16 and is now the best Canadian women to ever play the game. In her record 250th international cap with team Canada, Sinclair led the national squad to its second consecutive bronze medal after scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 effort against Brazil. The goal was the 165th of her international career, adding to her Canadian record.

The 33-year-old captain has been an inspiration to young Canadian female athletes for years, and it's beginning to show. She wasn't the only female athlete to inspire in Rio, as Penny Oleksiak became a household name by winning…

4 medals, the most ever by a Canadian athlete at a Summer Olympics.

Oleksiak emerged as Canada's hero in Rio, capturing a record four swimming medals in her first-ever Olympic Games.

The Torontonian also set an Olympic record in the 100-metre freestyle, finishing the race in 52.70 seconds to win Canada's first gold medal of the Games. But Oleksiak wasn't the only young Canadian to make history, as 21-year-old first-time Olympian Andre De Grasse took home…

3 track medals, becoming the first Canadian to win three sprint medals at a Summer Olympics.

De Grasse turned professional less than a year ago, but the Canadian sprinter is off to a great start and well on his way to becoming the future of sprinting.

De Grasse became the first Canadian to win three sprint medals at a Summer Olympics, capturing bronze in the 100 metre, silver in the 200 metre, and bronze in the 4x100 metre. He also set two Canadian records in Rio, finishing the 200m in 19.80 seconds and anchoring the 4x100m team to a 37.64 finish.

De Grasse's three medals make up half of Canada six athletics medals, the most Canada has won since 1932. Derek Drouin won gold in high jump, Brianne Theisen-Eaton won bronze in the heptathlon, and Damian Warner won bronze in the decathlon. The Canadian track athletes are young up-and-comers but not as young as Oleksiak, who at…

16 became Canada's youngest flag bearer for the closing ceremonies.

The craziest thing about Oleksiak's first Olympics is that she not only won four medals and set an Olympic record, but that she did it all as a high schooler. Oleksiak became the first person born in the 2000s to win an individual Olympic event when she won gold in the 100-metre freestyle.

Oleksiak's accomplishments were enough to earn her the honour of becoming Canada's youngest flag bearer in history, as she was chosen by the committee to carry the Canadian flag for the closing ceremonies. Oleksiak will look to defend her gold medal in 2020, hoping to match the…

2 consecutive gold medals won by Rosie MacLennan, the first Canadian to successfully defend an Olympic title at the Summer Games.

Rosie MacLennan made headlines four years ago in London when she became Canada's only gold-medal winner in a disappointing Summer Olympics. MacLennan carried the Canadian flag into Rio and made history, defending her Olympic title en route to a second consecutive gold medal in the individual trampoline event. MacLennan can now be considered a true veteran, but at 27 years of age she has a long ways to go before reaching…

48 – the age of bronze-medal winner Eric Lamaze, who's the oldest Canadian male to compete in Rio.

Lamaze went into Rio as the Canada's oldest male competitor at 48 years old, but the veteran equestrian surprised many as he captured bronze in the show jumping event. Lamaze became Canada's most decorated Olympic show jumper, winning his third medal after capturing a gold and silver in 2008. From the young Oleksiak to the old Lamaze, Canada's athletes can leave Rio with their heads held high. For those still in the Olympic spirit, you just have to wait…

535 days until the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea, where Canada hopes to continue its Winter Olympics success after back-to-back strong showings in Vancouver and Sochi.
