[Rio 2016 Team Canada Roster](https://olympic.ca/rio-2016-team-canada-roster/) It was also just the third time that the Games were held in the southern hemisphere, following [Melbourne 1956](http://olympic.ca/games/1956-melbourne/) and [Sydney 2000](http://olympic.ca/games/2000-sydney/). The Games officially opened on August 5, continuing through August 21. There were two additions to the sports program, as golf returned to the Games for the first time in 112 years and rugby sevens made its Olympic debut. RELATED: [Full list of sports and disciplines for Rio 2016](http://olympic.ca/2015/08/05/how-many-sports-are-at-rio-2016/) Canada had an extremely successful Games, winning 22 medals to match the country’s best ever total at a non-boycotted Games from [Atlanta 1996](http://olympic.ca/games/1996-atlanta/). Included in the Rio haul were four gold medals, Canada’s highest number since the seven at [Barcelona 1992](http://olympic.ca/games/1992-barcelona/). ![Canada's Penny Oleksiak holds up her gold medal after her first-place finish in the women's 100m freestyle finals during the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Friday, Aug. 12, 2016.

In winning four medals, she became Canada’s most decorated athlete ever at one summer Games. She also tied the great [Victor Davis](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/victor-davis/) as Canada’s most successful Olympic swimmer all-time. By winning gold in the 100m freestyle at just 16 years and 59 days, Oleksiak became Canada’s youngest ever Olympic champion. It was also Canada’s first gold medal of Rio 2016. ![Women's 4X100m Freestyle Relay Team, Rio 2016, August 6, 2016.

Oleksiak anchored both the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays to bronze and also won silver in the 100m butterfly. With relay teammate [Taylor Ruck](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/taylor-ruck/), they became the first ever Olympic medallists born in the 21st century. [Kylie Masse](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/kylie-masse/) and [Hilary Caldwell](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/hilary-caldwell/) added bronze medals in the backstroke events. In all, 11 of the 19 female pool swimmers that Canada sent to Rio came home with hardware after a 20-year medal drought. ![Derek Drouin wins gold I'm the Rio 2016 high jump competition.](https://olympic.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/derekdrouin_hj_gold_jasonransomphoto-772-e1471397138174.jpg?quality=75) Canada also won six medals in athletics, the country’s best total since the nine won at [Los Angeles 1932](http://olympic.ca/games/1932-los-angeles/). High jumper [Derek Drouin](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/derek-drouin/) became Canada’s first Olympic champion in a field event since those Games, winning gold with a clean sheet, just the sixth high jumper to ever do so in Olympic history. [Andre De Grasse](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/andre-de-grasse/) became the first Canadian track athlete to ever win three sprint medals, taking silver in the 200m and bronze in both the 100m and 4x100m relay.

Her victory also made her the first Canadian woman to win two gold medals in an individual event at the summer Games and the first Canadian athlete to successfully defend an Olympic title at the summer Games. ![Rio 2016: Erica Wiebe (Women's 75kg Wrestling)](https://olympic.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ericawiebe_75kg_gold_jasonransomphoto-11.jpg?quality=75) [Erica Wiebe](http://olympic.ca/team-canada/erica-wiebe/) became Canada’s third ever Olympic champion in wrestling with her victory in the 75kg weight class.
