Charron, from Rimouski, Que., had the top scores in both stages of the competition after lifting 105 kilograms in the snatch and 131 kg in the clean and jerk. Charron’s medal was the eighth Canada has won so far at the games – all by female athletes.
Kelsey Harshman drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The victory ended a long quest for redemption for four veterans – Jenn Salling, Danielle Lawrie, Lauren Regula and Kaleigh Rafter – who were on the Canadian team that finished fourth at the 2008 Beijing Games. “It means everything. This is the best team and one of the best cultures I’ve ever been a part of,” said Salling, who announced her retirement after the game.
