Canadian Senior Men’s National Team concludes 2024 Paralympics with best finish since 2012
The Senior Men’s National Team wrapped up the 2024 Paralympic Games with a fourth place finish – its best result since winning gold at the 2012 Games in London.
Canada fell short 75-62 to Germany in a hard-fought bronze medal game on Saturday at Bercy Arena.
“We wanted to keep improving on our positioning, and so we did that,” said Bo Hedges. “Obviously, right now, we’re a little disappointed that we didn’t win this game, and we had the opportunity right there for us, but yeah, when we reflect on this, it’s progress as a program and as a group. Proud of the guys.”
Canada finished eighth at the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo and was the 11th seed at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. The SMNT also placed sixth at the IWBF World Championships last year.
