A big day for one Canadian athlete - Derek Drouin, who won Bronze in the High Jump Tuesday afternoon.

DIVING

Alexandre Despatie of Laval, Quebec finished 11th in men's three-metre springboard diving. He was 8th entering his final dive, but fell three spots after a low score.

TRACK & FIELD

Two of three Canadians in the men's 200-metre heats advanced to Wednesday's semifinals. Aaron Brown set a personal best time in qualifying and Jared Connaughton also moved on. Tremaine Harris, however, did not advance. Defending gold medallist Usain Bolt of Jamaica won his heat with ease to advance.

Ontario runner Sheila Reid won't race for a medal Tuesday afternoon in the women's five-thousand-metres. She was 15th in her heat and did not advance. Two Canadians race in track semifinals later Tuesday - Geoff Harris of Halifax in the men's 800-metres and Crystal Emmanuel in the women's 200.

In men's high jump Derek Drouin won the bronze medal, tying with jumpers from Great Britain and Qatar.  All three cleared 2.29 Metres.  The medal is Canada's first in track and field.

And Jessica Zelinka and Phylicia George both qualified for the women's 100 Metre hurdles final, but finished well out the top three.

TRIATHLON

Simon Whitfield's hopes for a third straight medal in triathlon came to a crashing end. Following the opening swim portion, the Canadian lost control of his bike on a small speed bump and went crashing into a curb and metal guard-rail. Whitfield won triathlon gold in Sydney and a silver medal in Beijing four years ago.

Alistair Brownlee of Britain won the men's triathlon and his brother, Jonathan, took the bronze medal. The silver went to Spain's Javier Gomez, who was fourth in Beijing behind Whitfield. Victoria's Brent McMahon was 25th today and Kyle Jones of Oakville, Ontario was 27th.

Canada was crushed in its women's basketball quarter-final. The U-S led 42-21 at the half and ran away with a 91-48 victory. The defending champion Americans now head to the semifinals on Thursday and are likely to advance to the gold medal game on Saturday.

The women's soccer team has a couple of days to regroup after a devastating 4-3 extra-time loss to the U-S in the semifinals. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair scored all three Canadian goals. The U-S will play Japan in the gold medal game on Thursday while Canada takes on France for bronze.
