Summer Mortimer and Benoit Huot wrapped up their individual races in the pool Thursday after winning almost a third of sa国际传媒's medals and over half the country's gold so far at the Paralympic Games.
Mortimer added bronze to a collection that already included two gold and a silver by finishing third in the women's 100-metre freestyle.
The 19-year-old from Ancaster, Ont., will swim the backstroke leg of a medley relay today, but Mortimer is already sa国际传媒's most decorated Paralympian in London.
"It still hasn't hit me," she said. "I think other people make a bigger deal out of it.
"It's a pretty cool feeling. I'm really happy sa国际传媒 allowed me to come here and perform."
Huot, swimming his third race in as many nights, was fourth in the men's 100 freestyle in what was his final race in London.
The Montreal swimmer caps his fourth Paralympics with a complete set of gold, silver and bronze for a career 19.
Huot, 28, won the 200 individual medley in worldrecord time on the first day of competition in London.
He also took silver in the 400 freestyle and bronze in the 100 backstroke.
"I am leaving London with a big smile on my face," Huot said. "I knew this race was going to be the toughest. It's the one I've trained for the least. Eightyfive per cent of training was focused on the medley."
Mortimer's bronze was sa国际传媒's lone medal on Day 9.
With three days of competition remaining, the Canadian team was at 22 medals and assured of a 23rd when the men's wheelchair basketball team defeated host Britain 69-52 in their semifinal. sa国际传媒 faces defending champion Australia for gold Saturday.
But with just four gold, sa国际传媒 is tied for 21st. The team is unlikely to hit its objective of a top-eight finish in the gold-medal count in London.
Patrick Anderson of Fergus, Ont., led sa国际传媒 with 17 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds in wheelchair basketball. Saturday's final is a rematch of the 2008 goldmedal game in Beijing where Australia prevailed 72-60. sa国际传媒 won gold in both 2004 and 2000.
The final day of sailing was cancelled due to high winds and medals were awarded based on current position. That hurt sa国际传媒's medal chances with two boats in fourth after Wednesday's round.
Paul Tingley of Halifax was the defending champion in the single person keelboat. He finished just off the podium, as did the two-person keelboat team of Victoria's John McRoberts and Stacie Louttit.
"Obviously there's disappointment in coming fourth," McRoberts said.
"But to be honest, the other countries sailed better than we did. I'm still proud of where we finished. We ended up being the top Canadian sailing team at both the Olympics and Paralympics."
The men's wheelchair rugby team bounced back from a loss to Australia to beat Belgium 58-50. sa国际传媒 faces Sweden on Friday with the winner advancing to the semifinals.
