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."
