A three-medal performance, including gold from judoka Christa Deguchi and swimmer Summer McIntosh, restored some shine to Canada香蕉视频直播檚 Olympic campaign tarnished by the ongoing soccer spying scandal.

Deguchi captured the country香蕉视频直播檚 first gold medal of the Paris Olympics with a victory over South Korea香蕉视频直播檚 Huh Mimi in the under-57 kilogram final on Monday.

Deguchi was crowned Olympic champion after Huh was flagged for a false attack in sudden-death overtime, giving her a match-ending third penalty.

The win was golden payback for Deguchi, who lost to Huh in the under-57 kg final at the 2024 World Championships.

Deguchi, 28, lives and trains in Japan, the country of her birth. She has competed for Canada since 2017 through her Canadian father.

McIntosh, the 17-year-old phenom from Toronto, followed that with a golden performance in the women香蕉视频直播檚 400-metre individual medley.

McIntosh won decisively with a time of four minutes 27.71 seconds, finishing two body lengths ahead of American silver medallist Katie Grimes, who was over five seconds behind. Emma Weyant of the United States took bronze.

It was the Canadian香蕉视频直播檚 second medal in Paris, following a silver in the 400-metre freestyle on the opening night.

Earlier in the day, the diving duo of Nathan Zsombor-Murray and Rylan Wiens won the bronze medal in the men香蕉视频直播檚 synchronized 10-metre platform.

Zsombor-Murray, from Pointe-Claire, Que., and Regina香蕉视频直播檚 Wiens finished third with a total of 422.13 points over six dives to claim Canada香蕉视频直播檚 first-ever medal in the event, and the first Canadian men香蕉视频直播檚 diving medal since Alexandre Despatie香蕉视频直播檚 silver in the 3m springboard event in Beijing 2008.

The Chinese duo of Junjie Lian and Hao Yang won the gold medal with a score of 490.35 points, while Britain香蕉视频直播檚 Tom Daley and Noah Williams followed with 463.44.

Meanwhile, the drone spying scandal involving Canada香蕉视频直播檚 women香蕉视频直播檚 soccer team is now heading to a special Olympic court.

Canada Soccer and the Canadian Olympic Committee appealed a point deduction against the team on Monday, and the case is set to appear before the Court of Arbitration for Sport香蕉视频直播檚 special Olympic court in Paris in a closed-door hearing likely on Tuesday.

A ruling is expected Wednesday, before Canada香蕉视频直播檚 final group stage game against Colombia in Nice.

FIFA docked six points from the women香蕉视频直播檚 team on Saturday after a team analyst was caught using a drone to spy on New Zealand香蕉视频直播檚 practices before the start of competition. The penalty also included a fine for Canada Soccer and the suspension of three coaching staff members for one year, including head coach Bev Priestman.

The appeal is the latest development in a scandal that has also seen the federal government withhold some funding from Canada Soccer.

On the water, Canada香蕉视频直播檚 women香蕉视频直播檚 eight rowing team will have a second chance to qualify for the final at the Paris Games.

Boxer Wyatt Sanford, Kennetcook, N.S., was very impressive in his Olympic debut with a dominant victory over Bulgaria香蕉视频直播檚 Radoslav Rosenov in the men香蕉视频直播檚 63.5-kilogram Round of 16 Monday.

The top-seeded Sanford will face Uzbekistan香蕉视频直播檚 Ruslan Abdullaev in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Fernandez later teamed with Ottawa香蕉视频直播檚 Gabriela Dabrowski to record a 6-1, 7-5 (5) win over France香蕉视频直播檚 Clara Burel and Varvara Gracheva in women香蕉视频直播檚 doubles. The Canadian duo will next meet the winner of a Tuesday match between neutral athletes Mira Andreeva and Diana Shnaider and Australians Olivia Gadecki and Ajla Tomljanovic.

Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., had her Olympic debut end early with a 6-3, 6-4 second-round loss to Croatia香蕉视频直播檚 Donna Vekic.

Canada香蕉视频直播檚 Felix Auger-Aliassime and Milos Raonic were eliminated from men香蕉视频直播檚 doubles play on Monday with a tough first-round 7-6 (14), 6-4 loss to third-seeded Americans Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in men香蕉视频直播檚 doubles.
