Canada’s Kylie Masse won her second silver medal of the Tokyo Olympics in the women’s 200-metre backstroke Saturday.
Masse led for most of the race, only for Australia’s Kaylee McKeown to charge past her in the final seconds. Fellow Australian Emily Seebohm nabbed the bronze.
It’s the latest medal for Canada’s swimmers, all five of which have been won by women.
Taylor Ruck, also swimming for Canada, managed a sixth-place finish.
