- Courtney Sarault earned her third medal of the Games with silver in short-track speedskating, and Canada's women's hockey team found itself one step closer to playing for gold as it takes on Switzerland in the semifinals on Day 10 of the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Sarault, a 25-year-old from Moncton, finished second in the women's 1,000 metres, adding to her mixed team relay silver and individual bronze in the 500 from earlier in the Games.
She held the lead for the first six of nine laps before falling to third with two laps to go. However, Sarault fought her way back into second in the final lap.
"Just crazy," she said of the feeling to have a third medal. "From four years ago, I've come such a long way. In this distance, I think I came 11th (at the 2022 Beijing Games).
"I made a mistake in the quarterfinal, I believe, and just didn't have a good day," Sarault said. "And today, I feel like I made a little mistake in my final but I'd rather make a mistake in my final and get silver than not get a medal at all."
In women's curling, Rachel Homan ended a three-game losing skid on Monday morning with a 10-5 victory over China's Rui Wang. Homan and her Ottawa-based women's curling team of Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes scored four points in the fourth end and tacked on three more in the sixth.
Homan's rink will play Japan later Monday.
Brad Jacobs rink beat Czechia 8-2 to boost its record to 5-1 in men's curling.
