GLASGOW \u2014 Kyle Reyes and Coralie Godbout added a pair of judo medals to Canada\u2019s tally as competition wrapped up Sunday at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n
Reyes captured gold in the men\u2019s -100-kilogram division, defeating England\u2019s Max Gregory 1-0 by ippon in the final.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old from Toronto moved one step up the podium after winning silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. He returned to competition in June after undergoing back surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Kyle was in a league of his own today,\u201d coach Antoine Bouchard said. \u201cHe was never in any real danger, and he remained completely in control. He had a perfect day.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we saw the old Kyle again. He was sensational.\u201d<\/p>\n
Godbout, a 25-year-old from L\u00e9vis, Que., needed extra time to defeat India\u2019s Ishroop Narang 1-0 and claim bronze in the women\u2019s -78-kilogram division.<\/p>\n

Canada finished with seven judo medals at the Games, including four gold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe truly believed all our athletes had a shot at the podium. We ended up with seven medals out of nine possible ones, and the two athletes who didn\u2019t win medals made it to the bronze-medal finals, so we really couldn\u2019t have asked for much more,\u201d Bouchard said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the athletes who hope to qualify for the 2028 Olympics, these Games have been an important milestone, especially for the younger ones who had no prior experience at multi-sport events. They performed some great judo.\u201d<\/p>\n
In track cycling, Maggie Coles-Lyster of Maple Ridge, B.C., earned bronze in the women\u2019s elimination race, with Australia\u2019s Alyssa Polites and Georgia Baker finishing first and second.<\/p>\n

Coles-Lyster won her second career Commonwealth medal after taking bronze in the women\u2019s scratch race at the 2022 Games.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old said she was \u201creally happy\u201d to reach the podium after undergoing career-threatening iliac artery surgery last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a career-changing surgery last year, so this has been my comeback year, and it\u2019s also been my best season ever,\u201d Coles-Lyster said in a press release. \u201cComing into these Games I thought, \u2018Don\u2019t leave without a medal,\u2019 so today was my last chance to make that happen and I\u2019m really happy I did.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo get the job done in the elimination today, my favourite event, was a great feeling and a big sigh of relief.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three-medal day helped Canada finish with 62 medals overall \u2014 19 gold, 20 silver and 23 bronze \u2014 across 10 days of competition. Canada placed third in the medal table behind Australia and England.<\/p>\n
Quebec City\u2019s Julien Frascadore capped the Games by carrying Canada\u2019s flag into the closing ceremony at the Hydro arena. Frascadore won judo gold in the men\u2019s -66-kilogram division on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing named Team Canada\u2019s closing ceremony flag bearer is an incredible honour and something I will cherish forever,\u201d Frascadore said. \u201cWinning a gold medal was a dream come true, but what I\u2019ll remember most about these Games is being part of this team. The support we\u2019ve shared as teammates, within judo and across Team Canada, has been unlike anything I\u2019ve experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n
