Team Canada has defeated Team USA in women’s soccer 1-0, with a goal scored by 23-year-old Jessie Fleming on a penalty kick 74 minutes into play. They will play for the gold medal against Sweden.
Meanwhile, American gymnast Simone Biles will compete in the balance beam event after having withdrawn from a number of other individual events.
Canadian gymnast Ellie Black will compete in Tuesday’s balance beam final, the Canadian Olympic Committee confirmed Monday. Black pulled out of last Thursday’s women’s all-around final after she sprained her left ankle during training.
Sprinter Andre De Grasse was presented with his bronze medal Monday for the men’s 100-metres event on Sunday where he became the first Canadian male athlete to reach the podium at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The US audience was divided……….you had those who cheered for Canada…….and then those who booed the USA team.
I sure was cheering for Canada!!!! Oh and I am US citizen. Disloyal and ungrateful US women soccer team!!!!.
transgender players should have their own comp
Hold on why aren’t people questioning her because she’s trans masculine?
Many trans masculine women take male hormones so that must mean doping is ok now in women’s football
Don't the Canadians have a man playing on their team?
Canada has a male in his team…maybe that contribuited to have a player with more muscles per weith and stronger bones and testosterone than the rest of the females in the field. MAYBE that made difference
your the best
congrat girls you best go canada go number one !
Good I hate the US womans soccer team and I'm from the United States now I can say shut up to them after being overpaid then the man in US soccer
Today is a great day to be Canadian in Tokyo.
CANADA ?? WINS THE GOLD!!
?????
GOLD FOR CANADA!!!
Losing to Canada was ok. But not to any other country. Sweden has always been close to Canada to you out there not knowing that.
Yay ladies! You’ve made Canada ?? proud. Long awaited and well deserved!
Go woke go broke
Don't forget the consequence of beating your master.
CRAP REPORT WHERE IS THE VIDEO? PUT IN THE EFFORT?? USELESS CANADIAN MEDIA CANNOT EVEN SHOW THE VIDEO!!! PATHETIC GLOBAL NO NEWS!!!!
Lol lol lol lol lol lol that's all I have to say .
Bloody smug woke voice ?
Congrats Canada on the victory over my beloved USA …. Our women would rather lick than get the 98.6 … also they caught up in their feelings
Lol now us socer team has lot of time kneeling down on their knees. The only thing they are good at.
This is what you get when you tell bold faced lies about your pay .
I am so glad Canada beat USA and I am American
Very Happy USA Lost. USA needs another team.
Go Canada go Thank you Canada do you put those tyrants in their place you are a hero Canada God bless Canada ??❤️??
I'm sure if Team USA had pulled out some biologically male soccer players to play with the women we to could probably have edged out a victory.
"Team USA" were playing for their own egos. ?
Get woke. Go broke. Even in sports.
I congratulate the Canadian team. Way to go, girls. A good lesson for the arrogant American players.
As an American, I am ashamed to see this soccer team kneeling for the National Anthem. I call this, Devine Justice. These losers do not deserve to win anything. Sport is for sports and not political statements.
Wooooo
Very glad Canadian gals beat the egocentric us team
The wokesters lost! That's Fantastic, Never ever thought I would root for an American team to lose but I'm so thankful they lost.
Canada probably apologised
Great job Canada It's about the game respect for the country your there to represent I think that was Forgotten or There just selfish and used the platform to make More money Someone should ask Meagan I think I want a sandwich ?know ?
Go girls you do us proud
I've never seen so many Americans cheering for Canada. 🙂
They want the match moved for the final. I believe there is a lovely littleGreek island in the Aegean close to the Turkish coast which will be only too happy to take them on.
US dominated this game, but that's soccer just takes one opportunity of a penalty shot and you win 1-0 even though you got dominated.
They need to revamp the front line. New strikers. Rapinoe gotta go .same with the swimsuit. Morgan. To much ego.
Good!
So glad the arrogant women's USA soccer team are out and hope they don't even medal. The look on Rapinoe's defeated face said it all. What made it even sweeter is that the penalty award to Canada was so soft and on balance wasn't a penalty. But who cares that this point.
I remember in the 2019 Women's World Cup when the US beat Thailand 13-0 showed absolutely no humility in beating a far inferior team. Since that point I've hope they loose every match they play. Well done Canada all the best in the final.
So happy for the Canadians for giving Rapino the knee right where she deserved it. Maybe now she will learn to be more humble, and have some respect; hope Canada gets the gold.
More Americans cheered on Canada than Canadians cheered on Canada.
So proud of Canada – most Americans agreed lol
I am so pleased we beat the woke Americans but disgusted that we have a guy on the team. This nonsense is destroying women's sports.
They should the Canadian women's soccer team reaction to all the comments on their win ..??????????
That's what happens when you bend the knee for the domestic terrorist organization blm, and disgrace your country. Megan Rapinoe got what she deserves.
