Olympics Day 14 Recap: Team Canada

⛸ Figure skating: In a shocking turn of events, 15-year-old ROC figure skater Kamila Valieva placed fourth in this morning’s women’s singles free skate, meaning medals were awarded while the ongoing doping investigation surrounding Valieva continues.

• As for our Canadian, Madeline Schizas (who performed spectacularly in the team competition) had a respectable skate, placing 19thin women’s singles this morning.

• Now we jump to the pairs competition — featuring the much-awaited Eric Radford and Vanessa James duo — beginning tomorrow at 5:30 a.m. ET. Let’s twizzle.

🎿 Freestyle skiing: Marielle Thompson won silver in this morning’s women’s ski cross, gaining Canada’s 20th medal of the Games. Her second career Olympic medal (the first a gold in Sochi 2014), Thompson battled back from a second ACL tear to regain a spot on the podium. A true fighter.

🥌 Curling: Team Gushue will face the U.S. in tomorrow’s 1:05 a.m. ET bronze medal game, after falling 5–3to Sweden in the semifinals. Will Canada’s first gold medalist in men’s curling be able to land another podium finish?
