Canada 12 Medals Milano Cortina 2026

Canada’s medal haul at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics is starting to look more like the Team Canada fans expected — with a late-first-half surge pushing the country into the heart of the podium race.

As of Tuesday, Feb. 17, Canada has 12 medals: 3 gold, 4 silver, and 5 bronze.

The momentum has been driven by three headline-making golds in a span of just a few days. Freestyle skiing star Mikaël Kingsbury finally delivered Canada’s long-awaited first gold of the Games by winning the new men’s dual moguls event on Feb. 15. The next day, Ontario’s Megan Oldham captured women’s freeski big air gold in Livigno, edging China’s Eileen Gu in a weather-delayed final — Oldham’s second medal after her earlier slopestyle bronze.

On Feb. 17, Canada struck again on the oval, successfully defending its Olympic title in the women’s team pursuit as Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann skated to gold.

Canada’s depth has also shown up in the silver-and-bronze columns. Short-track standout Courtney Sarault added a silver in the women’s 1,000 metres on Feb. 16 — her third medal of these Games — while speed skater Laurent Dubreuil earned a bronze in the men’s 500 metres on Feb. 14.

The medal uptick is noticeable compared with the prior day’s official summary: by the end of Feb. 16 (Day 10), Canada sat at 11 total medals, before Tuesday’s team pursuit gold pushed the total to 12.

On the ice, the spotlight is shifting toward knockout hockey. Canada’s men’s team, seeded first, now knows it will face Czechia in the quarterfinals on Thursday (Feb. 19), setting up a high-stakes rematch with a program that has spoiled Canadian hopes before. On the women’s side, Canada remains near the top of the standings behind the unbeaten United States, keeping the tournament’s marquee rivalry on track for a potential gold-medal collision.
