Kayak / Canoe
Canadian flag-bearer Mark Oldershaw raced to a silver medal in men's canoeing at the Pan Am Games today while former Olympic champion kayaker Adam van Koeverden won a bronze.
Oldershaw, from Burlington, Ont., was second in the men's C-1, 1,000 metres, 1.721 seconds behind Brazil's Isaquias Queiroz dos Santos. Mexico's Jose Cristobal was third.

The four-time Olympic medallist from Oakville, Ont., led until the final 300 metres but faded to the finish line.
Canada normally sends a B team in canoe/kayak to the Pan Ams, so this marked the Pan Am debut for both van Koeverden and Oldershaw.
