Bennett, Hennessy named Canada’s flag-bearers

Paralympic medallists Nicholas Bennett and Brianna Hennessy will carry the Canadian flag during Sunday’s closing ceremony in Paris.

Bennett, a swimmer, won Canada’s first gold medal in Paris — one of three total medals he’s headed home with, also including another gold and a silver.

The 20-year-old from Parksville, B.C., who has an intellectual impairment, became the first Canadian male swimmer to win multiple golds at one Games since 2004.

Hennessy, a Para canoeist, took silver in her first race on Saturday and can reach the podium again in her final event on Sunday.

The 39-year-old from Ottawa only took up her sport during the pandemic. After failing to reach the podium at Tokyo 2020, she’ll return home from Paris with her first Paralympic hardware.

With a final tally of 29 total medals won (10 gold, 9 silver, 10 bronze), Canada matched its impressive performance at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.
