And so it comes to this …

Canada leads the U.S. 8-7 with the hammer in the final end of this women’s bronze-medal game.

Hold on now folks. Here we go.

Canadian speed-skating stars Valérie Maltais and Ivanie Blondin are onto the women's mass start final. 

Maltais advanced out of the first semifinal, finishing fourth in her heat. The three-time Milano-Cortina medallist skated a controlled race, comfortably securing one of the eight top spots needed to move on.

Ivanie Blondin crossed sixth in the second semifinal. Blondin won silver in this event at Beijing 2022 and is currently third in World Cup standings.

The pair will face a stacked field in the final, including Italy's Francesca Lollobrigida, who has won two gold medals at these Games so far.

Maltais and Blondin won gold together in the team pursuit on Tuesday, alongside their teammate Isabelle Weidemann. 

Another big end for Canada, with Rachel Homan drawing to score three to put Canada up 8-5 over the U.S.

Team USA has final stone advantage in the ninth end and needs to close the gap by scoring more than one if they are to have a chance. 

The excitement level is rising in a game that started out as a conservative chess match.

And that makes it 8-5 for the Canadians, leading Team USA as they go to the ninth end in this bronze medal game in women's curling.

The action continues to heat up in the seventh end of the women’s curling bronze medal game.

To the eighth end they go in this bronze medal curling game. It's now tied 5-5.

Canada has the hammer in the all-important eighth end.

Miha Fontaine says that while Team Canada's result was disappointing in mixed aerials this morning, he is looking forward to the next Games. 

"I feel like everybody on the team, we all gave our best today. Sometimes the conditions aren't ideal," Fontaine said, pointing to shifting conditions in Livigno, Italy, today, which went from sun to snowfall, making for a tough adjustment on the hill.

Ranked eighth in the world on the World Cup circuit, Fontaine said the Olympics revealed just how much other countries elevated their game. He said he feels clearer about what it will take to contend.

"No regrets. It's very easy after the competition to say, 'I could have done this, I could have done that,'" Fontaine said of the team. "Even personally, I could have done a higher degree of difficulty and we would have made it to the finals. But it's all, like, little personal work that's gonna bring us to the top in four years."

Still, he said he was happy with his overall jumping today — which he called a "step up" from yesterday's men's final, when Fontaine came 15th in Qualification 2, scoring 99.56. Today, he scored his team's highest, with 107.73. Lewis Irving got a 95.47 and Marion Thénault, 65.25 — an uncharacteristically low score. 

Changing conditions in Livigno have caused the postponement of several freestyle skiing events through the week, and forced aerials athletes to compete in qualifications and finals in the same day.

Milano Cortina is Fontaine's second Olympics. His father, Nicolas Fontaine, won silver in aerials at the 1992 Albertville Winter Games.

Canada's Ivanie Blondin details the resilience that drives her legacy

Canadian speed skater Ivanie Blondin Ivanie Blondin discusses the resilience that has defined her career and Olympic journey.

Canadian speed skaters Ivanie Blondin and Valérie Maltais will race for the podium in the women’s mass start in what's expected to be Blondin’s final Olympic race. 

Milano Cortina 2026 will mark Blondin’s fourth Olympics. At 35 going on 36, she had said she plans to retire. 

She's already captured gold alongside longtime teammates Isabelle Weidemann and Valérie Maltais, when they defended their title in the women's team pursuit earlier this week. 

A dramatic turn of events at women’s curling! After trading singles through five ends, Canada blows the game wide open. 

It starts with Team Canada third Tracy Fleury’s hit-and-stay at the edge of the 12-foot, setting up a double potential, with another of Canada's stones behind a guard at the opposite end of the rings. 

An uncharacteristic miss by U.S. Skip Tabitha Peterson on the team's last rock opens the door for Canada to score three. 

Homan’s hit-and-stay attempt is right on the money, resulting in a huge three-point end that puts Canada in the lead. The score is 5-3 heading to the seventh end.
