VANCOUVER—The Canadian men’s volleyball team is heading back to the Summer Olympics. With their tickets to Tokyo in their grasp, the Canadians put on a steady performance against Puerto Rico. The Canadian men qualified for Rio in 2016 after an absence from the Summer Games of almost a quarter-century. While the Canadian men are heading to Tokyo, the women’s team failed to qualify in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Five other Canadian teams — men’s and women’s rugby sevens, women’s softball, men’s field hockey and women’s water polo — had already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.
