Canada’s medal count climbed again on Day 6 of the Milan Cortina Olympics, earning two silvers on the hills of Livigno before capping the day with a bronze on the speedskating oval in Milan.

Snowboarder Eliot Grondin secured the latest medal for Canada after finishing just behind Austrian Alessandro Haemmerle in men’s snowboard cross, the Canadian’s third-ever Olympic medal.

In men’s moguls earlier in the day, freestyle skiing star Mikael Kingsbury missed out on gold in the narrowest of fashions — with a tiebreaker — while claiming silver.

It’s Kingsbury’s fourth medal after gold in Pyeongchang 2018, as well as silver medals at both Beijing 2022 and Sochi 2014.

On the short-track oval in Milan, Courtney Sarault captured bronze in the women’s 500 metres, crossing in 42.427 seconds.

The 25-year-old from Moncton edged the Netherlands’ Selma Poutsma at the line to secure her second medal of the Games after earlier claiming silver in the mixed team relay.

In the men’s 1,000 metres, Montreal’s William Dandjinou finished fourth after leading into the final lap before being passed on the inside by the Netherlands’ Jens van ’t Wout. China’s Sun Long and South Korea’s Rim Jongun also slipped through down the stretch.

In men’s hockey, Macklin Celebrini opened the scoring and Jordan Binnington made 26 saves for the shutout as the star-studded Canadian team opened its quest for gold with a 5-0 victory over Czechia.

Here’s a look at Canada’s sixth day at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, in photos.
