KAZAN, Russia -- Canada won its first medals at the 2013 World University Games on Tuesday, taking silver in the mens 1,500 metres and bronze in team race walk. Jeremy Rae of Fort Erie, Ont., was sixth heading into the final lap of the 1,500 but came back to finish second in three minutes 39.45 seconds, six hundredths of a second behind Valentin Smirnov of Russia. Rae became the first Canadian to medal in the event at the University Games since Olympian Dave Bailey captured silver in 1967 in Tokyo. "Im really confident in my ability to explode. Ive had great finishes all season, Rae said. "With 200 metres to go, I tripped when another runner cut in front of me, but it didnt stop me. I think I would have had a good shot at gold, but Im happy I got silver." Ross Proudfoot of Sudbury, Ont., was ninth in 3:44.33. Earlier, the trio of Vancouvers Inaki Gomez, Ben Thorne of Kitimat, B.C., and Evan Dunfee of Richmond, B.C., claimed Canadas first medal of the games, finishing third in the mens 20-kilometre team racewalk in four hours 20 minutes 35 seconds. Russia (4:04:31) took gold and Ukraine (4:08:09) won silver. "Its an honour to win Canadas first medal in Kazan," said Gomez, who competed for the University of British Columbia until 2010 and now attends law school at the University of Calgary. "The team event is neat because it adds a whole other dynamic to the competition." Other Canadians in athletics finals on Tuesday included Sarah Wells of Unionville, Ont., fourth in the womens 400m hurdles; Alicia Brown of Ottawa, fifth in the womens 400m; Jessica Smith of North Vancouver, B.C., sixth in the womens 800m; Helen Crofts of West Vancouver, B.C., seventh in the womens 800m; Daniel Harper of Brampton, Ont., eighth in the mens 400m; and Patrick Arbour of Ottawa, who completed the decathlon in eighth place. In womens artistic gymnastics, Ellie Black of Halifax also finished just outside the podium in the individual all-around final. The 2012 Olympian was second heading into the final event but a sub-par floor routine cost her two positions.

Simultaneously self assured and humble, 11-year-old Sabre Norris aspires to go two places higher on an Olympic podium than her bronze medal winning dad Justin and also eclipse one of his less edifying records.Sabre is the youngest surfer to earn a wildcard spot in a major Australian surfing event, after securing a place at the Sydney International Womens Pro, the final Qualifying Series event of the year, starting at Cronulla Beach on Thursday.NSW youngster Norris certainly hasnt been handed any favours in the draw with her first round heat opposition including world No.9 ranked Sage Erickson.The event is being staged and backed by world tour stalwart Sally Fitzgibbons, who is already a mentor to the NSW youngster.I just cant believe out of all the girls in the world, Sally has given me the wildcard to go in to her first event (as a promoter), Norris told AAP.Its a crucial event of the Qualifying Series right now, so I cant believe shes been this nice to give one now, I hope I can make her proud.Norris, who started surfing at five, is also an accomplished skateboarder.Both of those sports have been added to the program for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Sabre wants to qualify for the Games, like her father did in 2000 and 2004.dddddddddddd.At the Sydney 2000 Games, Justin Norris shaded a 15-year-old Michael Phelps for third place in the 200m butterfly swimming final.Sabre finds swimming a bit boring, but is already targeting a surfing spot in Tokyo, despite the fact she will only be in her mid-teens.Norris wants to eclipse her fathers Olympic feats inside and outside competition, though the latter is a somewhat dubious distinction.He had a goal to eat 100 chicken nuggets, he ate 97 and vomited, but he still ate the last three, Norris said.I might have to eat really healthy before I try that challenge when Im at the Olympics, so then i dont have to feel too bad about myselfBut I really would like to win a gold medal in the Olympics for surfing and then I can say Ive beaten him in two things.That would be really cool.
