PARIS – Summer McIntosh belts out the national anthem in both official languages, as she did for each of her three virtuoso gold medal swims here.

Josh Liendo is a proud product of Scarborough, Ont. and remains attached to the roots in his homeland.

Ilya Kharun’s sense of Canadiana is still a work in progress given he was born in Montreal but raised in Las Vegas.
