Canada’s Joshua Liendo swims to 100m butterfly gold at Commonwealth Games

Canada now has six medals at the Games — two gold, two silver and two bronze.

Canada’s Félix Dolci won silver in the men’s gymnastics all-around final earlier Sunday, earning his second medal of the competition.

Dolci scored 79.450, coming within two tenths of gold-medallist Reuben Ward of host Scotland at Glasgow International Arena. Australia’s Jesse Moore took bronze (79.000).

Dolci, a 24-year-old from Laval, Que., helped lead Canada to gold in the men’s team event on Friday when he topped the individual standings with a score of 81.650. Canada also won silver in the women’s gymnastics team event on Saturday.

Elsewhere on Sunday, the Canadian men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball teams fell to 1-1 in play with a pair of losses to England.

Flag-bearer Kady Dandeneau scored 11 points, but Canada’s women’s team lost 15-12 to England.

“I think it was just a little nerves kind of got to us,” Dandeneau said. “We didn’t execute on some of the stuff that we needed to, and it just got away from us there in the beginning. We let them get a big lead, unfortunately.”

The Canadian men then dropped a 20-10 decision. Both teams return to the court on Monday for matchups against Australia.

The Commonwealth Games run through Aug. 2. This year’s competition, featuring 3,000 athletes from 74 countries and territories, was downsized after Glasgow stepped in late as the host city when the Australian state of Victoria pulled out in 2023 over ballooning costs.
