Canada Wins Gold in Men's 4x100m Relay

Canada claimed gold in the men's 4x100m relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking only the second victory in this event for the nation since 1996. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to social media to mock American sprinter Noah Lyles, who had previously dismissed Canada as a threat but was unable to compete due to COVID-19. The American team was disqualified after a failed baton exchange, continuing a streak of poor performances in the event, with no medals won since 2004. Trudeau's playful post included a 'sorry' caption with emojis, celebrating Canada's achievement amidst the U.S.'s disappointment. The Canadian team, featuring Andre De Grasse, secured the victory despite a protest over their baton handoff that was ultimately denied. With this win, Canada tied its record for the most medals at a non-boycotted Summer Olympics, reaching 24 medals so far.
