Canada won its third medal at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games this morning with a brilliant performance in speed skating. Canada captured a silver medal in the short-track mixed team relay with the quartet finishing behind host Italy for gold.

It is Canada’s third medal overall at the Games, following bronze medals by speedskater Valerie Maltais and freestyle skier Megan Oldham.
It’s a big day for women’s hockey. Team Canada is 2-0 at the event following wins over Switzerland and Czechia. However, the big test comes later today as they face off against rival United States.
