Team Canada's Kylie Masse has added more hardware to her already full trophy case.

Masse picked up the bronze medal in the women's 200-metre backstroke at the Summer Olympics in Paris. Her time was two minutes and 5.57 seconds.

Australia's Kaylee McKeown took the gold with an Olympic record time. Regan Smith of the U.S. won the silver.

Masse finished fourth in the 100-metre backstroke earlier this week.

This is her fifth Olympic medal, and her second in the 200-metres. Masse won the silver at the last Summer Games in Tokyo.
