On ice, snow, water and solid ground, Canada's Olympic athletes won all kinds of medals in all kinds of sports in all kinds of places over the weekend. Here are the highlights:

Summer McIntosh dominated the U.S. Open Championships.

Seven months before she takes centre stage at the Paris Olympics, the teenage swimmer closed out her phenomenal year by winning two gold medals and a bronze at the U.S. Open in North Carolina.

McIntosh kicked things off Thursday night by easily defeating Katie Ledecky in the women's 400m freestyle, dealing the American star her first loss in the 400 free in a U.S. pool in 11 years. The young Canadian was even more dominant in Friday's 400m individual medley, blowing away the rest of the field by almost eight seconds in an event where she holds the world record and has won the last two world titles. McIntosh added a bronze Saturday in the 200m backstroke, an event she only dabbles in.

Let's quickly recap McIntosh's year: before turning 17 in August, she became the first Canadian swimmer with four world titles when she repeated as gold medallist in the 400m medley and 200m butterfly at the world championships in Japan. Before that, she set world records in the 400 medley and 400 freestyle at the Canadian trials, though the latter was subsequently broken by Australian rival Ariarne Titmus at the worlds.

Ilya Kharun, another of Canada's rising stars, also excelled at the U.S. Open. The 18-year-old won gold in the men's 200m butterfly and took silver in the 100m butterfly — just 0.01 of a second behind American star Caeleb Dressel. Josh Lieno,
