Canada has its first medal of the London Olympics.
Divers Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel have claimed bronze in the women's three-metre synchronized event.
World champions Minxia Wu and He Zi of China won gold while Americans Kelci Bryant and Abigail Johnston captured silver.
It's a historic result for the 30-year-old Heymans as she becomes the first female diver to reach the podium in four consecutive Olympic Games.
The native of St. Lambert, Que., won silver in the 10-metre synchro in 2000, bronze in the same event in Athens in 2004, and a silver in the 10-metre individual event four years ago in Beijing.
The 20-year-old Abel, from Laval, Que., and Heymans won silver in the event at last year's world championships.
The medal on the second full day of competition is good news for a Canadian team aiming for a top-12 finish overall.

Time for Heymans to retire. She struggled to keep up with her younger partner at times.

Honestly, I was surprised at some of the scores they got. The dives I saw (rounds 3-5), they were both well out of sync. Looked ugly in the replays.
