Day 16: What to watch with Team Canada at Paris 2024

Paris 2024 is coming to a close. Day 16 is the final day of competition at what has been a spectacular Olympic Games. Here are the final Team Canada athletes that you don’t want to miss out on.

Team Canada Athletes Competing Today

Athletics

As is tradition, the marathon event will take place on the final day of competition at the Olympic Games. Paris 2024, however, will mark the first time that the women’s marathon, rather than the men’s marathon, will hold this historic final spot–an homage to the Paris Games being the first Olympic Games to achieve gender parity.

Team Canada will be represented in the event by Malindi Elmore, who made her Olympic debut 20 years ago as a middle-distance athlete. She returned to the Olympics as a marathoner at Tokyo 2020, where she secured a top-10 finish for Canada with a ninth place overall.

The marathon will start at 8:00 a.m. local time / 2:00 a.m. ET.

Closing Ceremony

The Closing Ceremony will take place at 9:00 p.m. local time / 3:00 p.m. ET. at Stade de France, the site of many of Team Canada’s medals over the course of the Games.
