U.S. Power pair Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson finished fourth in women's team combined, a disappointing result for the two decorated skiers.

They finished behind teammates Jacqueline Wiles and Paula Moltzan. 

Austria's Ariane Raedler and Katharina Huber came in first and Germany's Kira Weidle-Winkelmann and Emma Aicher took second place. 

Johnson, the downhill champion, and dominant slalom skier Shiffrin finished fourth after leading the first run.

Italy steals one in the fourth end to take a 3-1 lead. Masterful by Stefania Constantini to leave Britain's Jennifer Dodds with an impossible shot on her final stone.

Heraskevych wore his tribute helmet for his first of two training runs on Tuesday. He did not appear to be wearing a black arm band.

IOC spokesperson Mark Adams announced this morning that Heraskevych would be permitted to wear the helmet in practice — but during competition, limit "his expression of mourning" to a black arm band with no text.  

Through three ends, Italy’s team of Stefania Constanini and Amos Mosaner leads 2-1 over Great Britain's Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat. It's a full house in the arena to support the home country pair who won gold in Beijing four years ago.

There is famously a lot of pressure on Olympic host countries to perform at the Games on their territory. Italy has taken that task to heart.

It's now up to 10 medals midway through Day 4 — two golds, two silvers and six bronze medals. The country is already just one medal shy of its entire total from Turin's 2006 Olympics. 

In 1956, when the Winter Olympics were last held at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy secured three medals: one gold and two silver. 

The record for most medals won by a Winter Games host country is 34 — from the U.S.'s Salt Lake City Games in 2002. 

Canada has a gold medal record as a host country, though. It won 14 at Vancouver's 2010 Olympics.

Hi, I'm Sarah Leavitt, on the ground in Livigno, Italy today. After securing a spot in the moguls final, Mikaël Kingsbury sought out his partner Laurence Mongeon and son Henrik for a photo. 

Then Australian competitor Matt Graham joined in alongside his partner and daughter. Friendly rivalry in action!

Canadian moguls star Mikaël Kingsbury of Deux-Montagnes, Que., breezed through his qualifier this morning.

World champion Ikuma Horishima of Japan topped the 30-man freestyle skiing qualifying field with a score of 85.42 at Livigno Aerials and Moguls Park in Livigno, Italy.

Quebec City's Julien Viel was second at 79.56 with Kingsbury third at 79.11 while Elliot Vaillancourt of Drummondville, Que., was 16th at 73.48.

Horishima skied immediately after Kingsbury, knocking the Canadian out of the top spot. Kingsbury was unfazed and unimpressed.

"Ikuma does his things," Kingsbury said in French. "He raced like a final today, but the Olympic Games won't be won today. He does what he wants, but I like the scenario that is building up."

Canada collects their short track mixed team relay silver medals

Watch the Olympic medal ceremony as Canada receives their short track mixed team relay silver medals.

The relay race was a close one and displayed how tight-knit the Canadian speed skating team is. 

Early in the race, Canada was in third, then fourth, but managed to secure that second spot in the last couple of laps with a 2:39.258 finish.

The Montreal-based team of 10 make up Canada's most successful Winter Games sport.

Dandjinou and Sarault have both won Crystal Globes, which is the highest individual honour in short-track speed skating.

It's the third medal won by Canadian athletes at Milano Cortina 2026, following bronze wins by speed skater Valérie Maltais and freestyle skier Megan Oldham.

Today's silver medal win also represents the 38th time Canadians have climbed the Olympic podium since short track was added to the Olympic program at Albertville 1992. And there are more medal expectations for Canadian short-track skaters in Italy.

Sarault, Boutin and Brunelle have booked their spots in the women's 500-metre quarterfinals.

Dandjinou and Roussel advanced to the quarterfinals of the men's 1,000 metres. Dubois was eliminated from contention in the 1,000 after a collision with Britain's Niall Treacy during their heat.

Hi, I'm Karin Larsen in Vancouver. I'll be following the medal matches in mixed doubles curling today at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.

Medals are being decided today in mixed doubles at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.

Unfortunately, Canada's team of Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant did not advance, finishing 5th.

Coming up momentarily is the bronze medal showdown between Great Britain and Italy. And at 12:05 p.m. ET (9:05 a.m. PT), it's the gold medal game between Sweden and the U.S.

Canadian short track team discuss winning Olympic silver in mixed relay

After capturing silver in the short track mixed team relay final at the Milano-Cortina Winter Games, the Canadian squad reflects on their achievement.

The silver is Kim Boutin's fifth Olympic medal. The entire team appeared jubilant at the finish. It's a first Olympic medal for Félix Roussel, William Dandjinou and Florence Brunelle. 

Brunelle and Steven Dubois get medals for competing in the quarters and semis, making it Dubois's fourth Olympic medal.
