Canada Wins Bronze in Women's Slopestyle Skiing at 2026 Olympics

Canadian athlete Megan Oldham secured a bronze medal in women's slopestyle skiing at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, marking Canada's second medal of the Games. Oldham delivered a strong final run after a fall in her second attempt, performing smooth tricks and near-flawless landings, earning a score of 76.46. Her performance was notable for her technical tricks, including a double cork 1260. Switzerland’s Mathilde Gremaud won gold with her third double cork run, while China’s Eileen Gu took silver. Oldham’s achievement follows her fourth-place finish in Beijing 2022 and adds to Canada's medal tally, which now includes medals in freestyle skiing and long-track speed skating. The Games also saw other notable moments, including Switzerland’s team winning gold in the debut of the men's team combined event, and concerns over broken medals, with several athletes, including Breezy Johnson, reporting cracked or chipped medals. The event was marked by thrilling competitions across disciplines such as figure skating, luge, and alpine skiing, with Canadian contenders performing well and making history. The Olympics continue with various events, including Canadian women’s hockey and figure skating, as organizers monitor medal integrity and technical issues, such as the unusual rink size and copyright concerns over music used in performances.
