February 12, 2026

We’re nearing the end of the first week of competition at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. 

Here’s what’s in store for Team Canada on Day 7.

Biathlon 

Zachary Connelly, Adam Runnalls, Jasper Fleming, and Logan Pletz will line up for the start of the men’s 10km sprint race at 8:00 a.m. ET. The results from this event will set the starting order for the pursuit event on Sunday.

Cross-Country Skiing

The men’s 10km free begins at 5:45 a.m. ET and will see Maximillian Hollmann, Remi Drolet, and Tom Stephen take to the course for Canada. This is an interval start race, with skiers leaving the start every 30 seconds so pacing and strategy will be key. 

Curling 

Canada continues its round robin play with Rachel Homan’s rink of third Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew, lead Sarah Wilkes, and alternate Rachelle Brown taking on the United States at 8:05 a.m. ET. The men’s team of skip Brad Jacobs, third Marc Kennedy, second Brett Gallant, lead Ben Hebert, and alternate Tyler Tardi will also face the United States, playing at 3:05 a.m ET and then will face off against Sweden at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Hockey 

After opening their tournament with a 5-0 win over Czechia, the Canadian men are right back at it with a game against Switzerland at 3:10 p.m. ET. It is their second of three preliminary round games.

Audrey McManiman will get her day started in the seeding runs, which will determine who is in what heat for the ⅛ finals at 7:30 a.m. ET. Riders will look to progress through the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the big final at 8:46 a.m. ET which is the race for the medals. 

Speed Skating – Long Track
