Canadian pair Pereira and Michaud score personal best to put them in podium position

Canadians Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud scored a personal best 74.60 points to finish in third place in the Olympic pairs short program.

Canada’s Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud finished the pairs short program in third place, which means they’ll be vying for the podium at Monday’s free skate, starting at 2 p.m. ET. 

Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps, sitting in 14th place, have also qualified for tomorrow’s free skate.

Canada’s Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps stumbled in their pair skating short program, with Stellato-Dudek falling near the end of their performance.

The pair finished about 10 points back of their personal best. Their trip to the Olympics has been a roller-coaster, with Stellato-Dudek having been cleared to skate just days ago, after suffering a head injury during training. 

Fellow Canadians Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud sit in first place with four pairs left.

Canadian ski jumper Abigail Strate, 'jury didn't make the right decision' on her opening jump

Calgary based ski jumper Abigail Strate finished in eleventh place Sunday in the women's large hill individual final at Milano Cortina 2026.

Canada’s Abigail Strate took a shot at the jury after jumping in tough conditions during the women’s large hill ski jump today. 

"The jury didn ’t make the right decision," Strate said in a post-competition interview.

Strate says the wind conditions changed before her first jump and the jury could have waited for conditions to be more fair. 

She and others who had to go around the same time "didn't really stand a chance," she said.

Strate jumped 117 metres in that first round, but bounced back in the final round under better conditions, hitting 131.5 metres. That wasn’t enough to make up for the first result — she placed 11th overall.

Canada's Brad Jacobs steals his way to a win over China

Canada is now tied with Great Britain for second in the tournament. They face Czechia next on Monday. 

Stellato-Dudek, 42, cleared to skate after ‘nightmare’ head injury

42-year-old Canadian Olympic figure skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek has been cleared to compete in the pairs event, just days after sustaining a serious head injury during training — an episode she calls a ‘living nightmare.’

This is the first Olympic Games for both Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps, who began skating together in 2019. However, they almost didn’t make it to Milano-Cortina, after Stellato-Dudek struck her head on the ice in training in Montreal last month. 

She was cleared to compete just five days ago. 

Deschamps said he continued to train alone, even while his partner was recovering. 

"We were still hoping and everything and that was important to keep that," he said Friday. 

At age 42, Stellato-Dudek is the oldest female figure skater to compete at an Olympics in nearly a century. In 1928, British figure skater Ethel Muckelt also competed as a pairs skater with partner John Page at age 42. 

Two years ago, she became the oldest woman ever to win a figure skating world title when she and Deschamps captured the pairs gold in Montreal. But last season, they withdrew from the prestigious Grand Prix Final due to an illness and placed fifth at the world championships in Boston. This season they finished sixth out of six teams at the Grand Prix Final.

But Stellato-Dudek has made a comeback once before: she retired from figure skating at age 17, and returned to the sport in 2016 at age 32.

Canada’s Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud nailed their pair skating short program, sitting in first place after clocking a personal best score of 74.60 skating to Jessie Ware’s Say You Love Me.

There are 10 more pairs to go in the short program, including Canada’s Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps.

Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps and Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud will represent Canada in the pairs figure skating short program, with Pereira and Michaud up first.

Norway has won gold and silver in the inaugural Olympic women’s large hill ski jump, with Anna Odine Stroem edging out Eirin Maria Kvandal. Slovakia’s Nika Prevc took bronze.

Canada’s Strate finished in the 11th spot, and Maurer in 20th.

Switzerland accuses Canada of 'double touching' the rock in Olympic men's curling

Another curling incident took place during Canada's round-robin curling match against Switzerland.

Following the "double-tapping" curling controversy, World Curling has updated its protocol about umpire monitoring.

As we’ve seen over the past 48 hours, Swedish and Swiss curlers have accused Canadians of "double-tapping" or double-touching, which is when a curler taps the granite of the stone as it moves across the ice, before it crosses the green line. 

Starting with today’s evening session, umpires will only monitor "deliveries" — when the curling stone is released to glide forward across the ice — at the request of the teams competing. 

"This change in protocol will see the two umpires who had previously been actively monitoring athlete deliveries remain available in the field of play, but will now only monitor athlete deliveries at the request of the competing teams."

According to World Curling, umpires are positioned at the ends of the ice, and they cannot physically see every infraction. On Saturday, they had increased surveillance at matches in Cortina, resulting in a stone thrown by a British men’s team being removed for the same alleged violation. Sunday’s announcement appears to be a reversal of that decision.

Canadian curler Marc Kennedy had said other teams had "come up with a plan” to catch others in the act, which included extra umpire surveillance and video. 

Strate bounced back with a strong jump in the final round, soaring 131.5 metres. That’s the best jump so far this round, putting her in the top spot with about 20 competitors still to go.

Maurer also topped her first jump this time around, hitting 126 metres to rank in third place.
