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.

Max Parrot won his second medal of these Olympics, earning bronze in the big air snowboard final.
Parrot said the win "means a lot," particularly after his gold medal-winning run in the slopestyle competition last week came under scrutiny over a controversial judging decision.
Fellow Canadian Mark McMorris finished in 10th place, after failing to land his second and third jumps. He was in eighth place after the first run, scoring the lowest among the riders who landed their first trick.
Darcy Sharpe of Comox, B.C., finished in 12th place, after only being able to land his second trick.
On the women's side Jasmine Baird was the top Canadian, finishing in seventh place. Laurie Blouin finished in eighth.

Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
