Here’s the latest on the Milan Cortina Olympics

Canada is seeing ongoing competition in various sports at the Milan Cortina Olympics, hoping to increase its medal count after a bronze in speed-skating.

As competitions continue at the Milan Cortina Olympics, Canada is actively engaged in several events on Day 3, aiming to add to its medal tally. Following the team's first success in speed-skating, where they secured a bronze medal, the mixed doubles curling team is currently competing against Switzerland. Unfortunately, Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant have already been eliminated from playoff contention after their recent losses. Despite this setback, the duo is giving their all in this concluding match of the tournament.

In addition to curling, Canadian slopestyle skiers Meghan Oldham and Naomi Urness are set to compete later in the day, with the team hoping for a second medal from the Games. Both athletes are from Ontario and Quebec, respectively, and are seen as potential medalists in their disciplines. Their performance in the women's slopestyle final will be crucial, as Canadians are keen to see their nation climb higher in the overall medal standings.

Furthermore, the Canadian women’s hockey team is also making headlines as they face Czechia in their second preliminary round after a strong start in the tournament, having previously defeated Switzerland 4-0. As the Games progress, the focus remains on how many medals Canada can ultimately achieve in this prestigious international sporting event, showcasing the collective efforts of athletes from the country across various winter sports.
