The final full day of action at Milano Cortina 2026 was a successful one for Canadian athletes.
Canada won three medals, one of each colour, including a successful finish to the competition for both the men’s and women’s curling teams.
Brad Jacobs’ rink won a thriller over Great Britain thanks to a three-spot in the ninth end and an impressive final rock by Jacobs in the 10th end to secure the gold medal.
Rachel Homan’s rink, meanwhile, secured their bronze medal earlier in the day with a victory over the United States.
The other medal won by Canada on Saturday was a silver by Ivanie Blondin in the long track speed skating women’s mass start.

Canada now has five golds, six silvers and nine bronzes for a total of 20 medals at the Games and will finish with 21.
Number 21 will come courtesy of the men’s hockey team as they take on the US in Sunday’s gold medal game, which is the final event of the Olympics.
Puck drop from Milan on Sunday is at 5:10 am PT and Premier David Eby has given restaurants and bars the green light to open early and serve booze to eager hockey fans.
