Jack Crawford was the world champion in the super-G in 2023 and has reached some notable landmarks in his career, including a bronze in the men’s alpine combined in Beijing 2022 and a downhill World Cup victory at the legendary Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel, Austria, in January 2025. Can the 28-year-old from Toronto pull out all the stops for a podium finish here?
The big favourite in this race is Switzerland's Marco Odermatt, current super-G world champion and the dominant men’s alpine skier in the world today — and he'll be eager to win his first Olympic medal in this event.
Good morning, I'm Verity — a writer in Montreal. Canada has several medal opportunities today and some up-and-coming stars competing in some exciting events, including in the Olympic debut for women's luge doubles.
Here's what to watch for:
In figure skating, the ice dance free skate is at 1:30 p.m. ET. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier will compete, as will Marie-Jade Lauriault and Romain Le Gac — who competed for France at PyeongChang 2018 — and Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha.
