What is happening in ice dance?

Much drama at ice dance free!

In the final skate of the night, an obvious mistake is made by France’s Guillaume Cizeron early in the program with partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry.

But what could have been a difference-maker isn’t and Team France still earns gold medal scores. U.S.A. Takes silver, Canada bronze. 

Three-time reigning world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the United States have just barely bested Canada’s Gilles and Poirier in the free dance, scoring 224.39. 

The final French team of Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry are up next to conclude the competition.

Tears of joy and fist pumps after an absolutely sublime free skate by veteran Canadian pair Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier at their third and final Olympic Games.

A vision of perfection and beauty, the pair has moved into first place for the time being with a score of 217.14, with two teams remaining.

They have won a medal for Canada, but what colour remains to be seen.

Coming into today’s competition there was less than a single point separating the fourth place Great Britain pair of Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson from third place Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier.

Performing to The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond and the Proclaimers, and wearing costumes featuring sparkly red and black tartan, Fear made an obvious mistake early in the program that left the audience gasping. 

Total score for GB: 204.32.

Gilles and Poirier are up now. The pressure is on.

Canada's Brad Jacobs opens men's Olympic curling tournament with extra-end win over Germany

Brad Jacobs and his Calgary-based rink defeat Germany's Marc Muskatewitz 7-6 in the opening session at Milano Cortina 2026.

Skip Brad Jacobs led Team Canada to a 7-6 win over Germany in their round robin game today. 

The men's curling team is now set to face off against the U.S. On Friday.

Captivating performance from youngsters Majorie Lajoie, 25, and Zachary Lagha, 26, although they appeared quite unhappy with their marks.

After skating to the piano and violin music from The White Crow their total score is 199.8, initially putting them in second place with eight teams remaining, including Canada’s Gilles and Poirier. 

LaJoie and Lagha are guaranteed to finish better than their 13th in Beijing 2022.

Fortunately today, when my camera person Jared Thomas saw her in the stands, I had one for her. 

In return, she gave a pin she made which resembles the coveted fleece from the show Heated Rivalry.

I think I got the better trade.

In curling, Canada is currently tied 4-4 with Germany in the eighth end in the opening game for the men's tournament.

First of the three Canadian teams to hit the ice is married couple Marie-Jade Lauriault and Romain le Gac, who really laid it down. 

Of course figure skating is subjective but I really love this pair’s routine — unique lifts and spins, perfect twizzle sequence, a tonne of personality displayed through choreography. 

Also stand-out costuming, especially Lauriault’s azure blue skating dress with the embellished gold snake that winds from the front, around her neck and to the back, fitting of the Cleopatra music. 

Co-coach Scott Moir looks pleased in the kiss-and-cry booth. Final score of 187.18 moves them into first place for the time being with 14 pairs still to come.

The men's doubles luge has wrapped. The Italian team here, too, takes gold — just as in the women's doubles final. 

Emanuel Rieder and teammate Simon Kainzwaldner finished with a total time of 1:45.086. 

Winning silver are Austria's Thomas Steu and Wolfgang Kindl at 1:45.154. Germany gets bronze with 1:45.176 from seasoned teammates Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt, who share a first name and (fun fact) were born only two weeks apart in June 1987. 

Canadians Cole Zajanski and Devin Wardrope kept their top 10 spot in that second run, with a total time of 1:45.906. It's a decent position for an Olympic debut and a pair who only started competing on the world stage together a few years ago.
