The majority of action during the Tokyo Olympics happens when most Canadians are fast asleep. While you were cozy in your bed, however, members of Team Canada were making their push for the podium.
Here's what you missed from Day 15 of the Summer Games:
Canadians Laurence Vincent-Lapointe and Katie Vincent won bronze in the women's C2 500m canoe sprint, which put Canada's medal count at 23 for these Games, the most it's ever been for a non-boycotted Summer Olympics.
The previous record of 22 was set at Atlanta 1996 and Rio 2016.
The all-time record for Canada at the Summer Olympics is 44, which came at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Those Games, however, were boycotted by the then Soviet Union and 13 other nations in response to a U.S.-orchestrated boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
China's Xu Shixiao and Sun Mengya finished first with a time of 1:55.495 and Ukraine's Liudmyla Luzan and Anastasiia Chetverikova secured second with a time of 1:57.499 in the first-ever women's C2 500m canoe sprint event at the Olympics.
Women's marathon: Elmore places top-10 in long-awaited Olympic return
At 41 years old and 17 years after her last Olympic appearance, Malindi Elmore finished ninth with a time of 2:30:59, the best ever for a Canadian woman in a non-boycotted Games.
The Kelowna, B.C., native competed in the 1,500m at Athens 2004, but after failing to qualify for Beijing 2008 and London 20212, she decided to walk away from the sport. She returned to competition in 2019 as a marathon runner, and two years later smashed the Canadian women's record to qualify for Tokyo.

Women's 10,000m: Seccafien puts forward strong performance
Canada's Andrea Seccafien had a strong effort in the women's 10,000m, finishing with a time of 31:36.36 while finishing 14th.
Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands won gold with a time of 29:55.32, Bahrain's Kalkidan Gezahegne secured silver with a time of 29:56.18, and Ethiopia's Letesenbet Gidey nabbed bronze with a time of 30:01.72.
Yeah.
During the qualifying rounds at the equestrian show-jumping event, a number of riders believed that their horse was being spooked by an all-too-real sumo statue's behind.
“As you come around you see a big guy’s (butt),” British rider Harry Charles told the Associated Press.
The sumo figure has since been replaced.
It may have been the wrong place for that certain statue.
