Taylor Ruckâs performance at the 2018 was one for the ages.
The 17-year-old Âé¶čAV-born swimmer tied a games record, winning eight medals in the pool on Australiaâs Gold Coast.
The record-equalling podium finish came in the womenâs 4 by 100 medley relay with winning a silver medal in a new Canadian record time.
Âé¶čAVâs Kierra Smith, with her second medal of the games, along with Kylie Masse and Penny Oleksiak rounded out the Canadian foursome.
âIâm just so honoured to be able to win that many medals,â Ruck said. âThis meet has been so much fun, and Iâm so glad to finish it with these girls by my side.â
Ruck, who was born in Âé¶čAV and grew up in Arizona, won one gold, five silver and two bronze medals in Australia. The gold came in the 200-metre freestyle, both a Commonwealth Games and Canadian record in the process.
Kierra Smith, a Commonwealth Games gold medalist in 2014, won two medals at the 2018 games, also earning silver Monday in the womenâs 100 metre breaststroke.
Ruck won two bronze medals in relays at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
