A clip of highlights from the arrivals:
Was amazing seeing these brilliant athletes interact with their fans, showing so much gratitude. Summer McIntosh who dominated in Swimming too time to sign autographs for her younger fans, before heading off with her parents. Rowers Cailegh Filmer and Jessica Sevick were even letting fans pose for pictures with their silver medal! Medal-winning Swimmers Josh Liendo and Kylie Masse also were generous with their time, walking over to ramp upon arrival, interacting with fans.
We cannot wait till the 2028 games already!

Three-time gold medal-winning Olympian SUMMER MCINTOSH gets a hero’s welcome home in Toronto! The 17-year-old Swimming star is fresh off three historic victories at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris including:
200-metre butterfly
400-metre medley
200-metre individual medley
She also earned a silver in the 400-metre freestyle!
McIntosh was spotted with her parents Greg McIntosh and former Canadian Olympic team Swimmer Jill Horstead, returning home from Paris as their daughter was greeted by fans, friends and Media at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The family is said to be heading to their Muskoka cottage for some relaxation.
After fielding some questions from Media and posing for some photos, McIntosh was ushered-off quickly with her handlers advising that she is tired and unable to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.
