Canada’s relay teams couldn’t tie a bow on one of the country’s most successful Olympic swim meets Sunday, but the team’s depth produced a record number of medals in individual events in Paris.

Canada’s host team in Montreal in 1976 also won eight medals, but three were in relays. Canadian swimmers produced 10 medals in the 1984 boycotted Games in Los Angeles, including two in relays.
