TORONTO — Canadian swimmer Kylie Masse has booked her ticket for the Paris Olympics.

The four-time Olympic medallist won the women’s 100-metre backstroke race in 57.94 seconds at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials.

Ingrid Wilm of Calgary was second in 59.31 — over a half-second inside the Olympic qualifying time — to lock up a spot on the team as well.

Masse, from LaSalle, Ont., won bronze in her Olympic debut in 2016 in Rio.

She earned two silvers and a bronze five years later at the Tokyo Games.
