Olympic newsletter: Is Canada having its best Summer Games ever?

The medal streak is over.

No Canadians reached the podium on Day 10 in Paris — the first time that's happened since the official start of competition. Nine consecutive days with at least one medal equalled the Canadian record set in 2016 in Rio and matched at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.

A close call came in women's 3x3 basketball, where Canada lost 16-15 to Germany in the semifinals before falling 16-13 to the United States in the bronze game.

Despite the dry day, Canada still has a good shot at making this its best Summer Olympics ever. The national record for a non-boycotted Summer Games is 24 medals, set three years ago in Tokyo. The record for gold medals is seven — established in 1992 in Barcelona and matched in Tokyo.

With six days of competition left, Canada has 17 medals, including five gold. And even though Summer McIntosh is done, there are still plenty of quality Canadian medal chances to come.

WATCH | CBC's Meg Roberts tells you what to watch on Day 11:

Perhaps the strongest one arrives Tuesday, when women's world champion Camryn Rogers tries for a Canadian sweep of the hammer throw golds (more on that below). Other track and field stars coming up include men's 800m world champion Marco Arop, women's shot put contender Sarah Mitton and Olympic men's 200m champ Andre De Grasse, who advanced to the semifinals today. De Grasse's men's 4x100m relay team will be in the mix too.

Canoeist Katie Vincent has a good shot at two medals — in the women's single event and the double with Sloan MacKenzie. Breakdancer Phil Wizard is a top contender for the B-Boys gold,
