While you were sleeping: How Canada performed at the Beijing Olympics Tuesday, Wednesday

While you were sleeping: How Canada performed at the Beijing Olympics Tuesday, Wednesday

Day 5 saw Canada add another snowboarding medal to its tally, while athletes competed in alpine and freestyle skiing, curling and snowboard halfpipe.

Canada added another medal to its tally at the Beijing Olympics on day five of competition Wednesday, with a chance for more spots on the medal podium still to come.

Here’s what you may have missed from the overnight competition so far.

Canada’s Meryeta O’Dine won the bronze medal in women’s snowboard cross, after powering her way through five gruelling rounds of racing.

The 24-year-old, who is making her Olympic debut in Beijing, won Canada’s first medal in the event since the 2014 Games in Sochi.

Fellow Canadian Tess Critchlow nearly joined Odine in the final but placed third in the semifinal round, sending her to the small final where she finished second for a sixth-place overall rank.

Zoe Bergermann and Audrey McManiman made it to the quarterfinals in the same event but failed to make it into the top two in their heats, ending their runs.

Earlier in the day, Elizabeth Hosking and Brooke Dhondt both advanced to the women’s halfpipe final after finishing ninth and 10th in the qualifier, respectively.

Hosking had a disappointing first run, scoring just 10.0 after falling on her first trick attempt. But she managed to recover on the second run with a score of 70.5, as the best of the two scores determined the final rankings.
