Bromell is evidence of what a worst case scenario looks like, so Andre grabbing a bronze (and still in the mix for more medals) is all right. 4 medals now , outside chance at 6. with all the talk of Penny taking down Klassen and Hughes- what is the male record (esp Summer) for Canada?

Van Koeverden? He has 4 medals, 1 G, 2 S, 1 B.
Just did a bit of digging: A guy named Phil Edwards has 5 Bronze medals in various 400, 800, and 1500 m races in 1928, 1932, and 1936. Also Victor Davis won 1 gold and 3 silvers swimming in '84 and '88.
