Canadá en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 2016

Canadá compitió en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 2016 en Río de Janeiro , Brasil, del 5 al 21 de agosto de 2016. Desde el debut de la nación en 1900 , los atletas canadienses habían aparecido en todas las ediciones de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano, con la excepción de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1980 en Moscú debido al apoyo del país al boicot liderado por Estados Unidos . El jefe de misión fue Curt Harnett , designado en abril de 2016 después de que Jean-Luc Brassard , el jefe de misión original, renunciara a su cargo. [2] [3]

Un total de 314 atletas, 128 hombres y 186 mujeres en 27 deportes (todos los deportes olímpicos excepto balonmano ), representaron al país, un aumento de 37 atletas desde 2012. [4] El equipo contenía 98 entrenadores y 107 miembros del personal de apoyo (como médicos y fisioterapeutas, entre otros). [ 5] Originalmente, 312 atletas fueron nombrados para el equipo, sin embargo, se agregaron dos atletas masculinos en kayak el 29 de julio de 2016 luego de la suspensión de los atletas rusos, lo que elevó el total a 314. [6] Canadá clasificó a cinco escuadrones en deportes de equipo, igualando el récord de 1984. [ 7] El objetivo oficial de Canadá (establecido por Own the Podium ) para estos juegos era al menos 19 medallas de cualquier color (una mejora de una o más con respecto a 2012) y un puesto entre los 12 primeros en términos de medallas totales ganadas. [8] Canadá terminó los juegos con 22 medallas (en el top ten en términos de medallas en general), lo que igualó el total de los Juegos de 1996 en Atlanta, el máximo anterior para unos juegos no boicoteados. Los atletas canadienses recibieron un pago por las medallas ganadas. Los medallistas de oro ganaron $ 20,000; los medallistas de plata recibieron $ 15,000; y los medallistas de bronce $ 10,000, provenientes del Fondo de Excelencia del Atleta. [9]

Rosie MacLennan , gimnasta de trampolín que había dejado los Juegos de 2012 como la única canadiense en ganar el oro, fue honrada como abanderada de Canadá en la ceremonia de apertura . [1] La nadadora Penny Oleksiak rompió el récord olímpico del país de más medallas (4) ganadas por un solo atleta canadiense en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano , además de convertirse en la medallista de oro canadiense más joven de la historia. [10] Al final de los Juegos, fue designada abanderada del equipo en la ceremonia de clausura , convirtiéndose en la abanderada más joven de Canadá en la historia olímpica. [11]
