Penny Oleksiak missed a record 7th Olympic medal in the 100m freestyle in Tokyo

Petunia Olekschak He is still Canada’s most decorative summer Olympic athlete, but missed another record after finishing fourth in the Tokyo Women’s 100m Freestyle on Friday.

The 21-year-old Toronto native is chasing her third medal in these Olympics and the seventh medal of her career — which will make her the Canadian athlete with the most medals in the history of the Olympics.

Instead, she was eliminated from the medal group less than a second behind Australia’s bronze medalist Kate Campbell. Compatriot Emma McKeon of Australia won the gold medal, while Siobhan Bernadette Haughey of Hong Kong won the silver medal.

However, for Oleksiak, it is not all bad news. She broke the Canadian 100-meter freestyle record with a time of 52.59 seconds, which is also the personal best result of this super swimming superstar.

Oleksandr has won the bronze medal in the 200-meter freestyle and the silver medal in the 4-man 100-meter freestyle relay. After she and her team finished fourth in the final on Thursday, she missed another medal in the 200m freestyle relay.

In the women’s and mixed 100-meter medley relay, she could have had another chance in the history of the Canadian Olympics.

To date, she has won six medals—including a record four at the Rio 2016 Olympics and her first Olympic participation at the age of 16—combining Oleksandr and speed skater Cindy Clarkson and cyclist and speed skater Clara Hughes are tied together to become the most watched Canadian Olympic athletes.

Oleksiak’s family said in an interview with Global News before swimming on Friday that they are proud to see her success and positive attitude shine, which shows that she is calmly coping with her victory and defeat.

“If you talk to her, it’s like,’I’m going to fix the next thing,'” Petunia’s sister Hailee Olexiak said.

“This may be the most positive and positive voice she has heard in a long time.”
