Speed Skating Canada | Patinage de Vitesse Canada

C'était formidable de rencontrer les patineurs de vitesse canadiens aujourd'hui - aka Canada’s most successful Olympic sport (their words… and the medal count backs them up 😉). Bonus: hanno gentilmente autografato la bandiera della nostra ambasciata. ! ⛸️🇨🇦

You just never know who you’ll find leaving the Olympic venue. Proud mom Rhonda and brother Chris of Courtney Sarault, still beaming with pride after her bronze medal win. They’re going to find her for a hug. Here’s our chat at the security checkpoint outside the arena.

You learn a lot about an athlete in the way they handle defeat. Extraordinary perspective from Canada’s Will Dandjinou just now. He promises to come back stronger the rest of the Olympics.

HISTORIC BRONZE MEDAL Courtney Sarault becomes the first Canadian outside of Quebec to win an individual medal in short track speed skating. Bronze in the 500m Sarault is from Moncton, New Brunswick. And she just told me she’s so proud to put her home on the map.

The Canadian short track speed skating team showing off their new suits for the first time today at the Olympics. Asked a few of them about it and they love them. That Maple Leaf 🍁pops against the white.

In conversation with Canadian speed skating coach Marc Gagnon. He was part of the single greatest medal haul at an Olympics for Canada in 2002. The Canadian short track team won 6 medals there. And there’s a feeling here in Milan they will break that record. Excitement building

“I was born to make history” Canadian short track superstar William Dandjinou has just finished his first practice at his first Olympics. He’s brimming with confidence after back-to-back dominant seasons.

ICE MAPLES 🍁 HAVE ARRIVED The Canadian short track speed skating team has taken to the main rink here in Milan as they continue to prepare for the Olympics. This is a wildly successful program, having won 37 medals at the Games. Second only to long track speed skating.

A look at the Milano Ice Skating Arena from as close as you can get to the ice. Canadians arrive here in the coming days for figure skating and short track speed skating practices. And I’ll be here covering Team Canada 🇨🇦 through it all.
