Combine high-stakes hockey and curling with a potential Canadian Olympic record, and you have a truly thrilling Friday at Milano Cortina 2026.
Here are athletes and teams to watch, along with the full schedule for Day 14 (all times Eastern):
Marielle Thompson (women’s ski cross, 4-7:10 a.m.)
The Canadian underwent knee surgery last year before winning two bronze medals on the World Cup circuit this season. Thompson won Olympic gold in 2014 and silver in 2022.
Team Rachel Homan (women’s curling, semifinal vs. Sweden, 8:05 a.m.)
The Canadian women’s rink won its last five games of the round-robin to clinch the final playoff spot.
