Day 10: What Team Canada did at Milano Cortina 2026

Team Canada put two more medals on the board on Day 10, including a first ever in ski big air at the Olympic Winter Games. 

Plus, another medal is ensured after a semifinal win in women’s hockey, during which Marie-Philip Poulin truly became the greatest goal scorer.

Here’s a look at everything that happened. 

Freestyle Skiing

Megan Oldham won Canada’s second gold medal of Milano Cortina 2026 and her second medal of the Games, taking the victory in women’s ski big air. 

After weather delayed the final for over an hour, Oldham stepped up and delivered two outstanding runs to secure the gold medal with a total score of 180.75. She is the first Canadian woman to win two freestyle skiing medals in one Olympic Games.
