Team Canada added bronze to its Beijing medal haul courtesy of Christine de Bruin on day 10 of the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The medal win is among the highlights of the day’s competition so far, which includes the women’s hockey team booking its ticket to the gold-medal final on Wednesday.

Here’s how Canada has performed so far on day 10, which began Sunday evening and is continuing Monday morning.

Canada’s 15th medal of the 2022 Games was a bronze from de Bruin in women’s monobob bobsleigh.

De Bruin was third in 4:21.03 in the new women’s pilot-only bobsled discipline at Yanqing National Sliding Centre.

Kaillie Humphries — the Stony Plain, Alta., native’s former Canadian teammate — took gold in her first Olympics competing for the United States with a dominant combined four-run time of four minutes 19.27 seconds.

Toronto’s Cynthia Appiah was eighth on the 1,615-metre, 16-turn track located about 90 kilometres north of Beijing.

Canada’s two-man bobsleigh team is also taking to the track in the first run of the event later on day 10.
