FILE - Canada player celebrate defeating Sweden for the gold medal in women’s soccer at the Summer Olympics, Aug. 6, 2021, in Yokohama, Japan. Defending Olympic gold medalist Canada is looking to re-establish itself following last year’s Women’s World Cup disappointment.
Left off the 18-player roster was Desiree Scott, a defender who won the gold medal in Tokyo and bronze medals at the London and Brazil Olympics. Olympic rosters are smaller than the 23-player rosters for other international tournaments, like the Women’s World Cup, making the decisions tougher. The Olympics will be Canada’s first major tournament without Christine Sinclair, international soccer’s all-time leading scorer with 190 career goals,Priestman also named four alternates for the team: Goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx, defenders Gabrielle Carle and Shelina Zadorsky, and forward Deanne Rose.
