The bar will be opening earlier, at 11 a.m., to accommodate a crowd looking to cheer on Canada's women in Paris. Saye says she's especially excited by the "exploding" interest in female, non-binary and queer athletes. She said the bar will have the sound on for every women's event they show. Canadians will have a lot to cheer for on the women's side this year, after Toronto swimmer Summer McIntosh beat her own world record time in the 400-metre individual medley at the Olympic trials in May. While, the women's basketball team squeaked into the games after Spain beat Hungary 73-72 in a 22-point comeback at the qualifying tournament.
