Canada's won a 'freaking historic' bronze medal in women's rugby 7s.
Kelly Russell (above) and the Canadian women's rugby sevens team beat Great Britain 33-10 to win the bronze medal on Monday at the Rio Olympics. Captain Jen Kish called the win — Canada's first ever Olympic rugby medal — a "freaking historic moment" sure to raise the profile of the sport at home.

She won Canada's fourth medal of the Rio Olympics after touching the wall at exactly the same time as China's Fu Yuanhui with a time of 58.76 seconds in the 100-metre backstroke.
