TORONTO \u2013 Canada\u2019s paddlers, rowers and divers kept the medals coming on Day 3 of the Pan American Games.<\/p>\n

Led by gold-medal performances by the men\u2019s coxless four and the women\u2019s double sculls, Canadian rowers combined to add three more medals to Canada’s impressive early haul on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty amazing. It sent goosebumps down my spine,\u201d said veteran rower Will Crothers who could hear the vocal hometown crowd in St. Catharines, Ont., as the men\u2019s four \u2013 Crothers, Tim Schrijver of Thedford, Ont., Kai Langerfeld of Parksville, B.C., and Conlin McCabe of Brockville, Ont. \u2013 entered their final 500-metre sprint. \u201cI started thinking, we\u2019re sitting up (starting the final sprint). I yelled to the boys, \u201cWho wants to sing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that probably fired them up pretty good. I think the (stroke) rate went up. We started really chucking down some heaters. Some hot strokes to get to the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men finished six minutes 10.80 seconds, more than three seconds ahead of silver-medallists Cuba (6:14.30) and bronze-medallists Argentina (6:16.52).<\/p>\n

Kerry Shaffer, from Welland, Ont., and Antje Von Seydlitz of Smithers, B.C., won gold in the women’s double sculls with a time of 7:13.01, just ahead of the United States (7:14.<\/p>\n

65) in second and Cuba (7:20.00) in third.<\/p>\n

Von Seydlitz could hear the partisan crowd from halfway out on the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was unreal. It kind of brings tears to your eyes,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re so proud to be racing in your own country in front of your hometown fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canadian rowers also took bronze medals in men\u2019s double sculls and women\u2019s coxless pairs.<\/p>\n

Just down the road in Welland, Canada added four medals in kayak and canoe events.<\/p>\n

Ben Russell from Dartmouth, N.S., and Gabriel Beauchesne-Sevigny from Trois-Rivieres, Que.<\/p>\n

, won gold in the C-2 1,000 metres. Canadian flag-bearer Mark Oldershaw from Burlington, Ont., raced to a silver medal in the men\u2019s C-1 1,000 metres. Michelle Russell of Fall River, N.S., won silver in K-1 500 metres \u2013 her second medal of the Pan Am Games. Veteran Adam Van Koeverden of Oakville, Ont., won bronze in the K-1 1,000 metres.<\/p>\n

Russell and Beauchesne-Sevigny won gold with a time of 3:46.316, beating Brazil by 0.801 seconds and Cuba by 3.616 seconds.<\/p>\n

The duo played it patient before surging into the lead over the final quarter of the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe train consistently that last 250 metres,\u201d Russell said. \u201cThat\u2019s where we want to be the best in the world, so every time we get there we just go for broke, and having the crowd today was just the bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada added four more medals in diving.<\/p>\n

Montreal\u2019s Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion from Laval, Que., won Canada\u2019s second diving gold in women\u2019s synchronized 10-metre platform. They earned 316.89 points to beat Brazil (291.36) and Mexico (287.91).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis medal has a lot of value to us not only because we put a lot of work in this, but because it\u2019s a little balm on my wound of two days ago,\u201d said Filion, who won silver in the individual event on Sunday. \u201cThese are the Pan Am Games, that\u2019s the title that we were missing, so it\u2019s really great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada added silver medals in the men\u2019s three-metre synchro springboard and 10-meter synchro tower and the women\u2019s three-metre syynchro springboard.<\/p>\n

Amanda Chudoba of Spruce Grove, Alta.<\/p>\n

, won Canada\u2019s second shooting gold with a victory in women\u2019s trap.<\/p>\n

Chudoba edged American Kayle Browning in a shoot-off after the final round was tied at 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, I didn\u2019t have any prep, it was all new to me,\u201d Chudoba said of preparing for the sudden-death session. \u201cI just tried to see the target when it comes out and hit the target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gymnast Ellie Black of Halifax won her second medal of the Games after capturing gold in the women\u2019s all-around competition.<\/p>\n

Black trailed Madison Desch of the United States after the vault and uneven bars, but posted the best result in balance beam and second best in floor to overtake the American and win the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s spectacular, to come here in front of the home crowd, to be able to hit my best competition, I think ever, is unreal,\u201d said Black, who helped Canada to a silver in the women\u2019s team event on Sunday. \u201cTo finish off with the gold is incredible, just having the whole of Canada behind me feels amazing. This is probably one of the best for me, I can\u2019t even believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelita Zupancic of Whitby, Ont., won Canada’s first judo gold medal of the Games, beating Cuba\u2019s Onix Cortez by Ippon in the final of the women\u2019s under-70-kilogram event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels surreal. Words can\u2019t describe it,\u201d Zupancic said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud to be Canadian. I\u2019m proud to represent my family, friends, coaches, teammates, everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stefanie Tremblay of Chicoutimi, Que., added a silver in the women\u2019s under-63-kg event.<\/p>\n

Also Monday, Toronto\u2019s Jordan Belchos won Canada\u2019s first ever Pan Am roller speedskating medal with a bronze in the men\u2019s 10,000 metres.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom was crying,\u201d Belchos said. \u201cIt was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
