Meanwhile, Canada soccer head coach Bev Priestman has been removed from her position following a drone spying scandal ahead of her team's opening win over New Zealand.
The Canadian Olympic Committee says the manager was suspended after "additional information" came to their attention regarding previous drone use that took place prior to this week's events.
