The Team Canada Rio experience in pictures

The Canadian team ran well at the Rio 2016 Olympics. The closing ceremonies have taken place in Brazil and Canadians fans say goodbye to this chapter of the 2016 Olympics as we now look towards the upcoming Paralympics. For now we rest happy knowing that our track and field team brought home six medals– the highest count in decades. There were many exciting stories that came from Canadian Olympic runners at this year’s Games and while we all watched them on the track, there were fun moments going on back at the Canada House and throughout Rio as those who represented our country bonded and celebrated their races. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what Team Canada was up to in between track sessions.

Four years ago I was watching @inakigomezg kill it in London, from the sidelines. From there began 4 years of sheer determination to not only make sure I wasn’t on the sidelines next time, but that I was mixing it with the very best. Tonight I come one giant step closer to that goal with the games officially getting under way! Can’t wait to see what the next two weeks hold in store! Thanks to everyone who has supported me to this point. Bring it on #Rio2016

My experience in Rio wouldn’t have been possible, or as memorable without these amazing people by my side! #Rio2016 #TeamWarner
