Canada Shines at Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics

Canada has had a successful day at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Megan Oldham's gold in the women's ski big air was a historic moment, as the sport was only added to the Olympics in 2022. Oldham, who was the top-ranked competitor from the qualification round, secured the win with a switch double cork 1260 and a double cork 1260 with mute grab.

In women's hockey, Marie-Philip Poulin led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Switzerland, securing a spot in the gold medal game against the U.S. Poulin scored both goals, surpassing Hayley Wickenheiser's Olympic scoring record. Canada will face a tough challenge against the Americans, who have allowed only one goal throughout the tournament.

Courtney Sarault won a silver medal in the women’s 1,000-meter short track speed skating, finishing just one-tenth of a second behind the Dutch skater Xandra Velzeboer. Sarault has won three medals at these Games, demonstrating her versatility and skill in short track.

In other events, Canada's figure skating pairs did not reach the podium, with Pereira and Michaud finishing eighth and Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps placing 11th. Rachel Homan's curling team improved their record to 3-3 with a 9-6 win over Japan, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
