The lone male weightlifter joining Team Canada is Plamondon, who also came fourth at TO2015 after claiming a Commonwealth bronze a year earlier in the 85kg division. Rio will be Plamondon’s first Olympic Games.

Canada has three medals all time in Olympic weightlifting, with Christine Girard bringing home the latest four years ago from Britain.
