Heading into the ninth day of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo, Canada is at eight medals (three silver medals and five bronze medals). They are in 11th place in the overall medal standings. Here is what Sunday has in store.
Bobsled
The women’s monobob competition begins on Sunday with two Canadians in the mix for podium spots. Melissa Lotholz of Barrhead, Alberta is currently sixth in the world, and Cynthia Appiah of Toronto, Ontario is ranked seventh. Appiah won a silver medal at a World Cup monobob competition in Winterberg, Germany on January 3. The first heat goes at 2 am MT and the second heat goes at 3:50 am MT.
