A great day for Canada in team sports, winning Gold in a thrilling Women's Hockey game as well as Jennifer Jones' rink in the Curling final. Today will be a busier day, full of more team sports, speedskating, and freestyle skiing.

Rankings after Day 14: Rank / Medals / Rank Change
By Gold Medals: 5th / 7 / +2
By Total Medals: 5th / 20 / 0

Events of Note:

[12:45 AM, 2:30 AM] Freestyle Skiing – Ladies’ Ski Cross: Marielle Thompson, Georgia Simmerling, and Kelsey Serwa will try to medal a day after Brady Leman finished 4th. Thompson is 1st in the world this year and is a medal favourite. Simmerling has finished 6th three times this year, and Serwa, who was 5th at the Olympics in Vancouver, has struggled this year since recovering from an ACL tear.

[5:45 AM, 9:15 AM] Alpine Skiing – Women’s Slalom Runs 1 & 2: Marie-Michele Gagnon has had a terrible Olympics, but the Slalom is her best event. Despite injury, she will try one more time to make the podium. Erin Mielzynski and Brittany Phelan also compete.

[6:30 AM] Curling – Men’s Gold Medal Game: Brad Jacobs will take on David Murdoch in a battle for gold. Will Jacobs be inspired by Jennifer Jones? Canada’s “Hey Sup Bro?” curling team will do their best to win. If they win gold, the after-party will feature both Molson and House music.

[6:30 AM] Speed Skating – Men’s Team Pursuit Quarterfinals & Semifinals, Ladies’ Quarterfinals: The Men’s team (ranked 6th) will be in tough versus the United States, who have placed 2nd in two of the three world cup events. The Ladies will be up against the hometown Russian team, which improved their placements in every race so far this year.

[7:30 AM] Biathlon – Women’s 4x6km Relay: Canada is unlikely to medal.
