Canadians' belief pays off with silver

Canada's women's eights rowing crew celebrate after winning silver on Saturday.

It’s a good mantra for a sport that requires eight women to pull in perfect unison, where rowing a split second faster or slower than teammates can throw off the effort.

On Saturday, Canada’s defending champion women’s eight rowing crew pulled together for a second straight Olympic medal, holding off Britain for silver at the Paris Olympics.

Canada has won a rowing medal in every Olympics since 1992.

Wasteneys said the team had a tough few years after winning in Tokyo, including many changes to the crew, but managed to come together at the right moment.
