In the decathlon, Damian Warner earned a silver medal [2], [3]. Warner's result adds to the variety of disciplines where Canada has found success during this stage of the Games, marking a strong finish for the multi-event athlete.

“Canada won a total of eight medals throughout the day”
The accumulation of eight medals in a single day, led by gold in judo and silver in the decathlon, demonstrates Canada's competitive depth across diverse sporting disciplines.
