"I love you dad," she said.
Sinclair scored in her 250th international match and Canada returned to the Olympic podium with a 2-1 victory over host Brazil for the women's soccer bronze medal.
It was the second straight bronze for the Canadians, who medaled for the first time at the London Games four years ago.
