RIO DE JANEIRO — Canada doesn’t get a lot of practice at celebrating nights like this at an Olympic track and field venue. We’re a nation that is still running that Greg Joy silver medal high jump footage from the Montreal Olympics 40 years ago, the Games in which Canada didn’t win a gold medal of any kind. We’ve had our moments, like the Donovan Bailey/4×100 relay team double gold in Atlanta, but not many of them. He won the bronze medal at the Olympics.’”That was Steen’s post-career job. It was his eighth gold medal, and barring a drop of the baton, it will probably be nine for nine Friday night when the Jamaicans run the 4×100 relay.
