Amar Dhesi led the way with gold in the men's 125kg weight class, while Lachlan McNeil, Linda Morais and Ana Godinez Gonzalez took silver and Hannah Taylor and Alexander Moore got bronze in their respective divisions.

Canadian divers came through too. Mia Vallée won gold in the women's 1m springboard, while Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray grabbed silver in the men's synchronized 10m.

Each athlete reached the podium in the same event at the world championships earlier this summer. Through eight days of competition, Canada has racked up 67 medals (19 gold, 24 silver, 24 bronze).
