What matters
- Premier standard boat: three finals, all nine medals Canadian. Fields of 29, 29 and 22 crews.
- Canada brings more boats than anyone — 77 placings from 15 clubs against 51 from 21 American clubs — so the honest measure is the big fields, where Canada won 8 of 13 golds.
- The step-up from heat to final decided the podiums: Senior B women medallists went 2.3 to 2.6 s faster in the final than in their heat.
- Two Canadian bronzes missed silver by 0.07 and 0.04 s; a fourth place missed bronze by 0.01.
