Michael Woods came agonizingly close to opening Canada's medal account on the first full day of competition at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Woods finished the race in good company as part of a group finishing one minute seven seconds behind Carapaz. Wout van Aert of Belgium and Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia, a pair of cycling heavyweights, took silver and bronze respectively. Decorated Dutch rider Bauke Mollema was fourth.

On the beach, Melissa Humana-Paredes and partner Sarah Pavan earned their first win, defeating the Dutch duo of Katja Stam and Raisa Schoon 2-0.
