USA defeats Italy on the last rock to score two in the final end.

It’s a 9-8 victory for the Americans in a thrilling curling battle.

Sweden vs USA for mixed doubles gold. Italy vs Great Britain for bronze.

Sweden is into the gold medal mixed doubles curling game at the Olympics.

It’s a 9-3 victory for Sweden over Great Britain. Scored five in the 6th end and that was game over.

Great Britain into the bronze medal game for a second-straight Olympics.

Sweden just scored FIVE against Great Britain in the 6th end of the mixed doubles curling semifinal.

And that makes it 8-3 Sweden.

Great Britain, who was the class of the field all week, on the brink of a crushing semifinal loss.

Arriving back at the Main Ice Skating venue here at the Olympics.

And it’s a spring-like evening here in Milano with the temperature soaring to 11 C as we approach 5pm local time.

Temperatures and intensity rising as we get closer to the ice dance competition tonight

I’m being told Skate Canada will be providing an update on figure skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek tomorrow.

She was injured in a training accident days before she was meant to compete at her first Olympics

We’ll learn tomorrow whether or not she’ll be in Milano for the Pairs event

The family and friends reactions one of my favourite parts of the Olympics.

They’ve been on this journey too.

And they couldn’t be in Beijing for Megan Oldham’s debut. But they’re here today for her bronze medal for Canada. Outstanding.

BRONZE FOR CANADA πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Megan Oldham, from Parry Sound, wins bronze for Canada in the women’s slopestyle event.

It’s her first Olympic medal in her second Games. And how about this, four years ago she missed qualifying for the final by one spot. Now she’s on the podium.

With just a few runs left.

After the first of three final runs in the women’s slope style event Canada’s Megan Oldham is in a bronze medal position.

Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ for the win to finish off mixed doubles curling.

Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant defeat Switzerland 8-4 to finish 4-5 at the Olympics.

Gallant curled 97% which bodes well as he now joins Team Jacobs for the men’s event.

This has been Canada’s best game in mixed doubles curling at the Olympics.

Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant are leading Switzerland 8-4 heading to the final end after scoring three in the 7th.

A really nice way to end their Olympic experience.

The Canadian mixed doubles curling team is on the ice for the final time at the Olympics.

Peterman and Gallant have a 4-2 on Switzerland at the 4th end break.

Both Canada and Switzerland won't be advancing to the playoffs.

McMaster University has posted the email written by the professor to Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas, granting her an extension on her assignment.

β€œI’d say focus on the competition right now, and submit it directly to me when it is done”

This is a really lovely note.

A fifth place showing for the Canadians in the team event.

Three of the four athletes who competed for Canada here tonight are making their Olympic debuts β€” Stephen, Lia and Trennt.

A lot of confidence built throughout this event they’ll take into their individual events.

Japan’s Shun Sato beside himself. The Japanes win silver. Italy bronze. Georgia fourth. Canada fifth.

And it’s a party in the American team box.

Ilia Malinin brings the building to its feet.

The Quad God with a couple missteps but a wonderful performance. He’s electric.

Will it be enough to lead USA to the gold medal in the team event?

Canada’s Stephen Gogolev is making his Olympic debut here in Milano.

And he’s skated beautifully here tonight. Learning. Evolving. And making the most of these team event skates.

Goosebumps here at the arena.

A mesmerizing performance by Matteo Rizzo who will help lead the Italians to an historic bronze medal in the figure skating team event.

Italy had never won a medal in this event. Until now. On home ice. What a moment.

The men’s free skate to come.

Maddie Schizas tells me she is very proud of how she recovered after an early mistake.

She has a lot of family here cheering her on tonight.

And her prof was great in his response about the assignment extensive. Wished her good luck. The assignment was worth 3% for the record.

Maddie Schizas had an early fall.

And then nailed everything after that.

A great recovery. And a season’s best performance.
