Early Medal Count
As of Thursday, February 12, 2026,
Canada has 6 medals at the Milano Cortina 2026
Winter Olympics: 0 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze.
Team Canada’s Podium Performances
Canada’s medal hunt is underway in Italy, with Team Canada sitting at six podium finishes as the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics roll into Feb. 12. The tally so far: 0 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze, a solid early foundation as the calendar turns toward some of the Games’ biggest events still to come.
Silver Success Stories
Canada’s most recent rush of results has come in fast, technical events where margins are measured in hundredths — and where Canadian athletes have looked right at home. Snowboard cross star Eliot Grondin continued his run of Olympic consistency with a silver medal in the men’s event, adding another highlight to Canada’s early story.
In moguls, Canadian legend Mikaël Kingsbury delivered another big-moment performance, earning silver and keeping Canada firmly in the hunt for that first gold.
Canada’s lone team podium so far has come in short track, where the mixed relay squad captured silver, a sign that the sport’s next generation is ready for the Olympic stage.
Bronze Medal Achievements
The bronze medals have been just as meaningful, showing Canada’s range across the sport map. In figure skating, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier climbed onto the podium with a bronze in ice dance, a result that energized the Canadian camp and added a marquee moment for a discipline Canadians watch closely every four years.
On the speed side, Valérie Maltais opened Canada’s medal account with a bronze in the women’s 3,000 metres, while freestyle skier Megan Oldham added another bronze with a strong showing in women’s freeski slopestyle.
Looking Ahead
With the Games running Feb. 6–22, Canada’s opportunity is far from finished.
