CBC – August 10, 2016 – Golf gets back into the swing of things at the Olympic Games on Thursday after a 112-year absence as the men’s tournament begins. Canada’s Graeme DeLaet and David Hearn will look to defend the gold medal won by Canadian George Lyon in the last Olympic Games golf event.

Three of Canada’s four beach volleyball teams will be in action on Thursday with Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan looking to remain undefeated when they take on Germany; Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas facing Egypt; and, on the men’s side, Ben Saxton and Chaim Chalk aiming for a big win versus Cuba.

In addition, more medals will be awarded in swimming as well as in gymnastics, with the women’s individual all-around final taking place on Thursday afternoon.
