It\u2019s no lazy Sunday for Team Canada at Milano Cortina 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mika\u00ebl Kingsbury<\/a> goes for his second medal of the Games, in the new Olympic event of dual moguls. There\u2019s also the Olympic debut of women\u2019s large hill ski jumping in which Abigail Strate<\/a> had podium hopes and the pairs figure skating short program will see the first Olympic appearance of Deanna Stellato-Dudek<\/a> and Maxime Deschamps<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at what\u2019s happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alpine Skiing<\/p>\n Four Canadians are entered in the women\u2019s giant slalom, which will have the first run go at 4:00 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n Val\u00e9rie Grenier<\/a> will be ninth out of the start gate, followed by Britt Richardson<\/a> wearing bib No. 15. Cassidy Gray<\/a> starts 34th and then Justine Lamontagne<\/a> goes 42nd. The second run will get underway at 7:30 a.m. ET with final results based on the two-run total times.\u00a0<\/p>\n Biathlon<\/p>\n Four Canadians have qualified for the pursuit races, based on their top-60 performances in their respective sprint events. Athletes will start in the order and time interval of their finishes in the sprints, essentially pursuing the winners of those events.\u00a0<\/p>\n At 5:15 a.m ET, Adam Runnalls<\/a>, Zachary Connelly<\/a>, and Logan Pletz<\/a> will compete in the men\u2019s 12.5km pursuit. Runnalls starts 31st, Connelly 48th, and Pletz 55th.\u00a0<\/p>\n Then at 8:45 a.m. ET is the women\u2019s 10km pursuit. Benita Peiffer <\/a>will start 56th.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bobsleigh<\/p>\n Bobsleigh competition will get underway with the women\u2019s monobob, the first heat at 4:00 a.m. ET followed by the second heat at 5:50 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n Melissa Lotholz<\/a> and Cynthia Appiah<\/a> are the two Canadian pilots entered. There will be two more heats on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cross-Country Skiing<\/p>\n The men\u2019s 4\u00d77.5km relay will begin at 6:00 a.m. ET. Xavier McKeever<\/a>, Antoine Cyr<\/a>, R\u00e9mi Drolet<\/a>, and Tom Stephen<\/a> will race for Canada. This is a new distance at the Olympic Games as the men\u2019s relay was previously 4x10km, but distances of all cross-country skiing events have been equalized across genders.\u00a0<\/p>\n Curling<\/p>\n Only one game on the schedule for Canadian curlers. Team Jacobs will look to get back to their winning ways against China after dropping their first game of the tournament on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Figure Skating<\/p>\n Deanna Stellato-Dudek<\/a> and Maxime Deschamps<\/a> will make their anticipated Olympic debut in the pairs short program. The duo missed the team event earlier in the Games after Stellato-Dudek sustained an injury in a training accident at home in Montreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n The competition begins at 1:45 p.m. ET. First up for Canada will be Lia Pereira<\/a> and Trennt Michaud<\/a> who skated admirably in both programs during the team event. They\u2019ll perform at 3:13 p.m. ET. Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps will be on the ice at 4:14 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n Only the top 16 pairs will advance to the free skate.\u00a0<\/p>\n Freestyle Skiing<\/p>\n After his silver medal in the single moguls, Mika\u00ebl Kingsbury<\/a> has his sights set on gold in the first Olympic men\u2019s dual moguls event. He\u2019ll be joined in the 1\/16 finals starting at 4:30 a.m. ET by Julien Viel<\/a> and Elliot Vaillancourt<\/a>. They\u2019ll look to progress through the rounds, with the finals set to go at 5:46 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n Then at 1:30 p.m. ET is the qualification round for men\u2019s big air. The 12 men will advance to the final, based on their best two of three runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hockey<\/p>\n Team Canada plays its last preliminary round game in the men\u2019s tournament, taking on France at 10:40 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n Skeleton\u00a0<\/p>\n Jane Channell<\/a> and Josip Brusic<\/a> will be Canada\u2019s entry in the inaugural Olympic mixed team skeleton event at noon ET. Channell will go down the track first, followed by Brusic, each doing just one run.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ski Jumping<\/p>\n Abigail Strate<\/a> and Nicole Maurer<\/a> will compete in the Olympic debut of the women\u2019s large hill event. These are the first Games at which there are two individual ski jumping events for women.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone\u2019s really excited because we\u2019ve been jumping the large hill for years now (at World Cups and world championships), so it\u2019s not like the event is a challenge,\u201d said Strate, who has earned five of her six World Cup podiums this season in large hill events.\u00a0<\/p>\n The first round goes at 12:45 p.m. ET from which the top 30 will move on to the final round at 1:57 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n Snowboard<\/p>\n Eliot Grondin<\/a> and Audrey McManiman<\/a> will join forces for the mixed team snowboard cross event, which gets going with the quarterfinals at 7:45 a.m. ET. Should they advance, the finals would start at 8:35 a.m. ET. Grondin has already won silver in men\u2019s snowboard at these Games.\u00a0<\/p>\n With bad weather in the forecast, the qualification rounds for slopestyle have been moved up a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n The men will be on course at 4:15 a.m. ET. Mark McMorris<\/a> is ready to start his quest for his third straight Olympic medal in the event after missing the big air event following a crash in training. He, Cameron Spalding<\/a>, Eli Bouchard<\/a>, and Francis Jobin<\/a> will look to be among the top 12 advancing to the final.\u00a0<\/p>\n The women will go at 8:15 a.m. ET, with Laurie Blouin<\/a> and Juliette Pelchat<\/a> competing for Canada. As with the men, everyone will do two runs with the best one counting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speed Skating \u2013 Long Track\u00a0<\/p>\n The women\u2019s 500m starts at 11:03 a.m. ET. Brooklyn McDougall<\/a> is in the fifth pairing, Carolina Hiller-Donnelly<\/a> is in the seventh pairing, and after her fifth place finish in the 1000m, B\u00e9atrice Lamarche<\/a> will race in the ninth of 15 pairings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 14, 2026 It\u2019s no lazy Sunday for Team Canada at Milano Cortina 2026.\u00a0 Mika\u00ebl Kingsbury goes for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[132548,188426,189871,188427,192093,189191,190474,188431,179093,193073,193074,49,193075,48,189192,188432,187791,109039,193076,114463,193077,191357,189874,114464,188384,5239,189878,188434,193078,188436,114465,189882,186708,114467,193079,187819,44,132551,132552,100778,189886,114468,188442,188443,190523],"class_list":{"0":"post-475692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-abigail-strate","9":"tag-adam-runnalls","10":"tag-alpine-skiiing","11":"tag-antoine-cyr","12":"tag-audrey-mcmaniman","13":"tag-beatrice-lamarche","14":"tag-benita-peiffer","15":"tag-biathlon","16":"tag-bobsleigh","17":"tag-britt-richardson","18":"tag-brooklyn-mcdougall","19":"tag-ca","20":"tag-cameron-spalding","21":"tag-canada","22":"tag-carolina-hiller-donnelly","23":"tag-cassidy-gray","24":"tag-cross-country-skiing","25":"tag-curling","26":"tag-cynthia-appiah","27":"tag-deanna-stellato-dudek","28":"tag-eli-bouchard","29":"tag-eliot-grondin","30":"tag-elliot-vaillancourt","31":"tag-figure-skating","32":"tag-francis-jobin","33":"tag-hockey","34":"tag-julien-viel","35":"tag-juliette-pelchat","36":"tag-justine-lamontage","37":"tag-laurie-blouin","38":"tag-lia-pereira","39":"tag-logan-pletz","40":"tag-mark-mcmorris","41":"tag-maxime-deschamps","42":"tag-melissa-lotholz","43":"tag-mikael-kingsbury","44":"tag-news","45":"tag-nicole-maurer","46":"tag-ski-jumping","47":"tag-speed-skating-short-track","48":"tag-tom-stephen","49":"tag-trennt-michaud","50":"tag-valerie-grenier","51":"tag-xavier-mckeever","52":"tag-zachary-connelly"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771124708_510_CAW_20260210_3655.jpg\")
