Canada’s medal winners at Beijing 2022: Here’s who picked up gold, silver and bronze

Canada currently has 12 medals at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, including one gold, four silver and seven bronze.

Here’s who brought home the hardware for Canada:

Gold

Men’s slopestyle snowboarding

The 27-year-old snowboarder from Quebec won Canada’s first gold medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Three years ago he was bedridden to treat cancer, but now he’s a gold medallist.

 

 

Mikaël Kingsbury

Silver

Men’s moguls — freestyle skiing

The four-time world champion and 2018 Olympic gold medallist brought home silver in men’s moguls, just behind Sweden’s Walter Wallberg who squeaked by Kingsbury to snatch gold in his final run.

 

 

Steven Dubois

Silver

Men’s 1,500-metre speedskating (short track)

Canadian Steven Dubois nabbed a silver medal in his Olympic debut. Dubois’ second place finish the 1500-metre final clocked in at two minutes 9.254 seconds. The 24-year-old from Terrebonne, Que., originally did not finish his semifinal heat but a late penalty to the Dutch skater vaulted him into the 10-man final.

 

 

Éliot Grondin

Silver

Men’s Snowboard Cross Final

Grondin is a five time world cup medallist and started playing competitively at the age of eight. The Sainte-Marie, Que., native had the honour of playing against his favourite snowboarder, Haemmerle — a dream his younger self couldn’t imagine. Grondin’s win for Canada is a sign of redemption as then 16-year-old Grondin was eliminated in the 1/8-final at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.

 

 

Isabelle Weidemann

Silver

Speedskating 5,000 metres (long track)

Weidemann captured her second medal of the Olympic games, her first silver in the women’s 5,000-metre speedskating event on Thursday. Her first medal came days before on Feb. 5 in the 3000-metre event.

 

 

Marion Thenault, Miha Fontaine and Lewis Irving

Canada won a bronze medal in the Olympic debut of mixed team aerials at Beijing 2022. Canada finished with a score of 290.98, behind China won silver with 324.22 points and the United States, which took the gold with 338.34 points.

 

 

Meryeta O’Dine

Bronze

Women’s snowboardcross

The 24-year-old B.C. native overcame personal tragedy and injuries to win her first Olympic medal. One of her coaches, Maelle Ricker, won Canada’s first gold in the event at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

 

 

Alexandria Loutitt, Matthew Soukup, Abigail Strate and Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes

Bronze

Mixed team ski jumping

Team work makes the dream work. These four Canadian athletes, all hailing from Alberta, won Canada its first ski jumping medal in Olympic history in a surprise finish.
