Olympic wake-up call: Canada has 3 new Olympic champions
CBC
Canada's women's team pursuit trio of Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin and Valérie Maltais won Canada's second gold medal of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games on Tuesday, in Olympic-record fashion.
The team went head-to-head with Japan in the 'A' final, and trailed the defending Olympic champions throughout the race. By the bell lap, the Canadians had narrowed the gap to to 39-hundredths of a second, and further to 0.32 in the final 200 metres, before disaster struck the Japanese team, as Canada crossed the line for the gold.
