2026 Olympic Games: Curling, speed skating medals bring Canada’s tally to 20 on last full day of competition

Big moments from Day 15 of the Olympics

Brad Jacobs and his Canadian curling rink collect their gold medals

Watch the victory ceremony as Brad Jacobs and his Canadian rink receive their gold medals at Milano Cortina 2026.

Canada’s medal count grew to 20 on the last full day of Olympic competition thanks to podium finishes in men’s and women’s curling and a silver in the women’s mass start. 

Medals all around for Canada’s curlers 🥌: Rachel Homan got her Olympic redemption today, leading the women’s team to a hard-fought 10-7 win over the U.S for the bronze medal. An Olympic medal has eluded Homan at her last two Olympic Games, but not this time. 

Canada’s men’s team followed that up a gold medal win against Great Britain after a tightly contested game. It’s the first Olympic gold for skip Brad Jacobs since Sochi 2014.

Blondin goes out on a high ⛸️: It was 2022 all over again for Ottawa speed skater Ivanie Blondin, who defended her silver in the women’s mass start in potentially her last Olympic race. Last week, she also successfully defended her Olympic gold in the women’s long-track team pursuit alongside longtime teammates Isabelle Weidemann and Valérie Maltais. 

Klæbo’s superhuman victory ⛷️: Norway’s Johannes Høsflot Klæbo shattered a nearly 50-year-old record when he completed an Olympic gold sweep with his sixth win in these Games in the men’s cross-country 50-kilometre mass start. Klæbo’s career total of 11 Olympic golds is now second only to U.S. swimming great Michael Phelps, who has 23.

“It’s a lot of emotions that are going through your mind when you’re doing the last 100 metres but, yeah, it couldn’t be a better way to crown the Olympics with winning the 50K,” Klæbo told CBC. 

Snow woes ❄️: Steady snow forced the postponement of the women’s freeski halfpipe final after slowing down skiers in the men’s ski cross quarterfinals, which saw the remaining two Canadian racers eliminated and ultimately frustrated. Podium favourite Reece Howden said the conditions were “a joke,” while Jared Schmidt told CBC Sports the weather played a factor in his result. (He was disqualified after getting a yellow card for contact from behind his heat).
