Canada wins two silver medals on Day 12. On Day 13, Canada will likely win a medal in Women's Bobsleigh, with many important play-off matches on the go.

Rankings after Day 12: Rank / Medals / Rank Change
By Gold Medals: 8th / 4 / 0
By Total Medals: 5th / 17 / 0

Events of Note:

[10:15 PM] Ladies’ Parallel Giant Slalom Qualification: Three Canadians will compete in the Ladies’ PGS. Caroline Calve has had two Top 10s this year. Marianne Leeson and Ariane Lavigne will also compete.

[10:42 PM] Men’s Parallel Giant Slalom Qualification: Jasey Jay Anderson, now 38, returns to defend his Gold medal in this event. He is not expected to medal, but anything can happen with Jasey Jay.

[12 AM] Alpine Skiing – Men’s Giant Slalom Run 1 & 2: Three Canadians will be competing in the 109-man field. None are expected to come close to medalling.

[2:00 AM] Ladies’ / Men's Parallel Giant Slalom 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Finals: Details to be posted after qualifications.

[2:15 AM, 3:05 AM] Cross-Country - Ladies’ and Men’s Team Sprint Classic Semi-Finals: Canadians will be competing in both events, with Alex Harvey & Devon Kershaw hoping to make up for a poor Olympics thus far in the Men’s events.

[3 AM] Curling – Women’s Semifinal: Canada went 9-0 in the Round Robin and will be playing Great Britain. Eve Muirhead’s Great Britain squad is ranked #1 in the world but have had a poor competition, so on paper, this semi-final is tougher than a potential final.

[6:30 AM] Speed Skating – Ladies’ 5000m: Ivanie Blondin is the sole Canadian in the long distance event.

[7:30 AM] Biathlon – 2x6km Women + 2x7.5km Men Mixed Relay: The Canadian team is not expected to compete here, but it is a fun event, with 16 teams competing.

[8 AM] Curling – Men’s Semifinal: Canada went 7-2 in the Round Robin and will face China in a re-match of the best match of the round robin. This match will be tight and hopefully as exciting as the Round Robin match was.

[8 AM] Figure Skating – Ladies’ Short Program: Canada has two competitors in the event, with Gabrielle Daleman (only 16) and Kaetlyn Osmond (18). Both young women are not expected to medal but have a bright future in the sport.

[9:15 AM, 10:25 AM] Bobsleigh – Women’s Heat 3 & 4: Humphries and Moyse sit 0.23s back after the first two runs and will surely do everything within their power to try to beat the American sled for Gold.

[10 AM] Ice Hockey – Men’s Quarterfinals: Canada will face Latvia, a surprise from the qualification round, winning their first match of the tournament. The winner of the Canada/Latvia game will move on to face the winner of USA/Czech Republic.
