Two more medals can be added to Manitoba's total at the Canada Games, both coming in archery.

It started on the women's side as 18-year-old Winnipegger Chyler Sanders claimed the gold medal in the archery compound individual event.

"I didn't expect to medal, especially so high, it just feels great. I focused on my form and making sure that it was good for me because if I have good form, then I have a really good shot," said in a news release.

That was followed up by Ryan Cherniak, 19 and from Winnipeg, won the bronze medal in the men's archery compound individual event.

"It actually feels amazing to medal, I wasn't expecting it. What I'm mostly focused on during shooting was specifically my breathing, just trying to calm my heart rate down. Last arrow was super shaky, but it still was a good shot to get me that bronze medal," he said in a release.

Manitoba now has 14 medals through the games.
