Representing his native country of Canada, Brandon McBride competed on his sport’s biggest stage and faced the best competition the world had to offer. His journey ends just shy of the medal round.
McBride’s time at the 2016 Rio Olympics concluded Saturday night with a sixth place finish in the semifinal round of the men’s 800m run. With a time of 1:45.41, he will not move on to Monday’s final.
A three-time national champion in the men’s 800m, McBride claimed two during his time with Mississippi State. He added a Canadian title a few weeks before heading to Rio.
