Fraser Mack Darragh Melanie Hawtin | Oakville Beaver file photos Oakville Olympians bring it to the world in Rio continued from p.1 Van Koeverden is one of only six Canadian athletes to win four medals at the Summer Olympics and is one shy of matching Phil Edwards (track, 1928-1936) and Lesley Thompson (rowing, 1984-2012), who each won five, for the most all-time. Van Koeverden will compete in the K1 (kayak singles), with preliminaries beginning Monday, Aug. 15 and the final is Tuesday, Aug. 16. Competing in his third Olympics will be van Koeverden's Burloak Canoe Club teammate Mark Oldershaw. The third-generation Olympian -- grandfather Bert (1948, 1952, 1956), father Scott (1984), uncles Dean (1972, 1976) and Reed (1976) -- became the first family member to earn a medal when he captured the bronze in London. The 33-year-old Burlington native won a silver medal at last summer's Pan American Games, where he was the flagbearer for Canada at the opening ceremonies. Oldershaw will compete on the same days as van Koeverden, with preliminaries on Aug. 15 and the final on Aug. 16. Oakville's third returning medallist is Diana Matheson. It was Matheson's injury-time goal that gave Canada's women's soccer team a 1-0 victory over France in the bronze-medal game at the London Olympics. That victory came on the heels of a thrilling, and controversial, semifinal in which the U.S. scored in extra time to edge Canada 4-3. Matheson missed all but one game at the 2015 Women's World Cup, hosted by Canada, after tearing her ACL in her left knee just eight months earlier. She also had to contend with a broken foot suffered during her rehab. The 32-year-old midfielder ranks second to only captain Christine Sinclair in all-time caps (185) for the national team and is also among the team's all-time leaders in assists (third, 20) and Canadian Olympic trials, helping him earn a spot on Canada's 4x100m individual medley. A bronze medallist at the 2011 world junior championships, Darragh made his first senior national team in 2014, representing Canada at the Pan Pacific championships. The medley relay is scheduled for Saturday (Aug. 6). Bouchard will swim both the women's 100m and 200m backstroke for Canada. The North Bay native won three medals at last year's Pan Am Games -- gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay and silvers in the 200m backstroke and the 4x100m medley relay. She narrowly missed another medal, finishing fourth in the 100m backstroke. Bouchard followed that up with a sixth-place finish at the world championships in the 200m backstroke. Adam van Koeverden The 25-year-old also won a pair of NCAA silver medals at the University of Missouri, where she was Darragh's teammate. Bouchard will swim the women's 100m backstroke Sunday (Aug. 7) and the 200m backstroke Thursday, Aug. 11. Lee Parkhill found success at home last summer and now hopes to carry that on to his first Olympics. Parkhill won a bronze medal in the laser sailing competition at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. Parkhill, who got his start at the Oakville Yacht Squadron, has twice finished 16th at the world championships and reached as high as 11th in the world rankings. The 27-year-old finished fifth at the Olympic test in event in Rio last year. The men's laser competition runs from Aug. 8-13. see Locals on p.5 Diana Matheson goals (seventh, 17). Matheson has already scored a big goal for Canada in Rio. Her goal in penalty kicks helped Canada edge the host Brazil for the gold medal at the 2011 Pan Am Games. Canada played its first game before the Olympic flame was to be lit, against Australia Wednesday (Aug. 3), winning 2-0. Canada then plays Zimbabwe Saturday (Aug. 6) and Germany Tuesday, Aug. 9. Mack Darragh and Dominique Bouchard of the Oakville Aquatic Club will make their Olympic debuts. Darragh, a 22-year-old Iroquois Ridge grad, won both the 100m and 200m butterfly at the Lee Parkhill
