Mark your calendars for February 10, 2026, because it's shaping up to be another jam-packed day of thrilling competition for Team Canada at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games! From the strategic battles on the curling ice to the breathtaking speed on the slopes and a groundbreaking moment in luge, there's something for every fan to get excited about. Let's dive into the must-watch events!
Alpine Skiing: Speed and Precision on the Slopes
The men's super-G event kicks off bright and early at 5:30 a.m. ET at the Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio. We'll see familiar faces like Jack Crawford, Cameron Alexander, and Brodie Seger hitting the slopes for their second race of the Games. But here's where it gets exciting: Brodie's younger brother, Riley Seger, will be making his highly anticipated Olympic debut! Crawford is set to be the second competitor out, followed by Alexander at number 20. The Seger brothers will be close behind, with Brodie starting 27th and Riley, bib number 30, carving his own path.
Biathlon: Endurance and Accuracy in Focus
At 8:15 a.m. ET, the women's 15km individual biathlon event begins. This demanding race tests both endurance and shooting precision. Representing Canada are Nadia Moser, Shilo Rousseau, Pascale Paradis, and Benita Peiffer. Will they hit their mark and deliver a stellar performance?
Curling: A Strategic Showdown Begins
The strategic game of four-player curling gets underway with the first draw of the men's round robin. Team Canada, led by skip Brad Jacobs and featuring Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant, Ben Hebert, and alternate Tyler Tardi, faces off against Germany at 1:05 p.m. ET. This is just the first of nine crucial round robin games for Canada. But here's where it gets interesting: Team Jacobs clinched a bronze medal at the 2025 World Men's Curling Championship, while the German team, skipped by Marc Muskatewitz, finished eighth. Can Canada's strong performance translate to Olympic success?
Figure Skating: The Dazzling Finale of Ice Dance
Prepare for elegance and emotion as the ice dance competition concludes with the free dance, starting at 1:30 p.m. ET. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier are in a fantastic position after the rhythm dance, currently holding third place with a score of 86.18 points. They're in a tight race, only 0.71 points ahead of Great Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson. Gilles and Poirier are scheduled to skate third in the final flight at 4:26 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha are in ninth place with 79.66 points and will skate in the penultimate flight at 3:32 p.m. ET. Marie-Jade Lauriault and Romain Le Gac are currently in 15th place with 74.35 points and will be the first Canadians on the ice at 2:23 p.m. ET. The tension is palpable – who will grace the podium?
Freestyle Skiing: Moguls Magic Awaits
The day's freestyle skiing action begins with the second qualification round for women's moguls at 5:00 a.m. ET. Ashley Koehler and Jessica Linton will be aiming for a top 10 finish to secure their spot in the finals. The finals themselves commence at 8:15 a.m. ET. Maïa Schwinghammer and Laurianne Desmarais-Gilbert have already earned their places in the final with impressive sixth and eighth-place finishes in the first qualification round. The top eight from the first final round will advance to a second final round, where the medals will be decided. It's all about precision and flair!
Luge: A Historic Day for Women's Doubles
It's doubles day at the Cortina Sliding Centre, and this year marks a historic first: the Olympic debut of the women's doubles luge event! Kailey Allan and Beattie Podulsky will proudly represent Canada in this groundbreaking competition, with their first run at 11:00 a.m. ET and their second at 12:53 p.m. ET. The men's doubles will also see action, with Devin Wardrope and Cole Zajanski competing. Their runs are scheduled for 11:51 a.m. ET and 1:44 p.m. ET. And this is the part most people miss: Unlike the singles events, the doubles events will have their final results determined by the cumulative time of just these two runs. Every second counts!
Snowboard: Halfpipe Dreams Take Flight
At 4:30 a.m. ET, the qualification round for the women's halfpipe begins. Canada's own Elizabeth Hosking, Felicity Geremia, and Brooke D'Hondt will be showcasing their aerial skills. Each rider gets two runs, with their best score counting towards advancement. The top 12 riders will move on to Thursday's final. Get ready for some gravity-defying tricks!
Speed Skating – Long Track: A Quest for Gold
Three Canadian speedsters will hit the ice for the men's 1000m race, starting at 12:30 p.m. ET. Laurent Dubreuil, the reigning Olympic silver medallist in this event, is a strong contender. He'll be joined by Anders Johnson and David La Rue, both making their Olympic debuts. Can they outpace the competition and bring home a medal?
