Team Canada gained another bronze medal on Day 8, bringing its medal count to eight for Milano Cortina 2026 so far. But it heads into the second week of the Games without any of those coveted gold medals.
Short track speed skating: Laurent Dubreuil nabbed Canada’s only medal of Day 8, earning a bronze in the 500 metres. Short-track star William Dandjinou was favoured for gold in the men’s 1,500 metres, but finished in a disappointing fifth place.
Women’s hockey: Canada earned a spot in the semifinals with a 5-1 win over Germany. Captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored the final goal of the game, which tied her with Hayley Wickenheiser for the most Olympic goals (18) in women’s hockey. The team will play Switzerland in Monday’s semifinal.
Olympic lovin’: When they’ve not been chasing medals, athletes have apparently been, uh, getting busy. The Olympic villages have reportedly run out of free condoms — 10,000 to be exact — that were ordered to give out to the nearly 2,800 athletes competing at the Milano-Cortina Games. That supply ran out after just three days, some reports suggest.
