For all my sports folks out there, here’s the highlight reel worthy, spectacular overtime goal that ended the Cdn Ringette Championship and made the Eastern Ontario Force U19 champs! From the knees to top shelf! https://t.co/JWeDhbmfkw

[The Olympic Games @Olympics]

Heartbreak. Perseverance. Belief.

Piper Gilles’ journey to the Olympic podium has been one of strength and determination.

At Milano Cortina 2026, alongside Paul Poirier, she captured glory. 🥉✨

A reminder of the strength and resilience women bring to sport every single day.

@WillGravesAP I was waiting for a hockey game style scrum to add to the drama between CAN and SWE!!! Loved the story.

@FRONZ1LLA I will never forget moderating that post-race press conference working at my first Olympic Winter Games. It was madness!

[Barb MacDonald @barbmacd]

This is why I’m really enjoying seeing the medals presented at the venues right after the event. The emotion is MUCH more real!

[The GIST Canada @thegistca]

Living for the dad energy on the men’s dual moguls podium. 👏⛷️

Mikaël Kingsbury earns Canada’s first gold of the Games. 🥇🇨🇦

Japan’s Ikuma Horishima takes silver, while Australia’s Matt Graham claims bronze. 🥈🥉

Three medals. Three dads. 🥹
