Brianne Theisen-Eaton won heptathlon bronze.
The Canadian multisport athlete stands alone in the photo above, but was joined by Jessica Ennis-Hill and Nafissatou Thiam on the podium.
Theisen-Eaton finished the 800-metre race — the last of seven events that make up the heptathlon — just behind 2012 Olympic champion Ennis-Hill (below in the long jump) who posted a season-best time in the 800-metre, but fell short of earning enough points to reclaim the gold medal, which went to Thiam of Belgium.
Elaine Thompson was all joy after her 100m win.
The Jamaican sprinter pulled off an Olympic upset Saturday night in Rio when she beat countrywoman and two-time defending gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in the women's 100 metres.
Another Jamaican, so famous his silhouette needs no introduction, also won his race — a heat in the men's 100-metres — as did Canadian Andre De Grasse (out front in the photo below.) The two men will run side-by-side in the semifinals on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
