    Canadian women’s 4×100-metre relay team (final, 1:30 p.m.)

    The Nova Scotian had the best score during qualifying. She won silver at this event at last year’s world championships. World No. 1 Chase Jackson of the U.S. failed to qualify for the final.

    The Canadians face the world’s No. 1 team from Brazil — Ana Patricia Ramos & Eduarda Santos Lisboa (Duda) — in the final. Canada has won four matches in a row to overcome a 1-2 start. Canada has never won Olympic volleyball gold.
