Smith's time of 58.07 was only topped by Japan's Rikako Ikee, whose time of 57.25 was good enough to win gold and set a championship record. However, Oleksiak's world junior record of 56.46 (set at last year's Olympic Games) remained untouched.
Record-setting medal haul
Powered by a stellar performance from the women, Canada claimed 15 medals at the event, good enough for second place behind the United States.
