Canada’s Van Landeghem, Bouchard retire from competitive swimming
OTTAWA — Chantal Van Landeghem has retired from competitive swimming after helping Canada win a relay bronze in the Rio Olympics and Pan American gold in Toronto.
Her Canadian teammate Dominique Bouchard also announced her retirement Tuesday after winning a Pan Am silver in backstroke.
Both women were members of the squad named The Canadian Press team of the year in 2016.
Van Landeghem swam the second leg of the 4×100 freestyle relay for Canada in Rio where she, Sandrine Mainville, Taylor Ruck and Penny Oleksiak captured the country’s first medal of those Summer Games.
