Back-to-back steals for the Canadian men.

That makes 3-0 Canada leading as they look for a fifth win in six games.

Czechia has the hammer in the 4th end.

What a spectacular celebration here for Courtney Sarault and the Canadian team.

A gritty, gutsy race by Sarault for silver.

She becomes just the second Canadian woman ever to win three short track medals at one Games — Kim Boutin the other in 2018

yeah I'll be very surprised if they don't go all-in on another title run with Stafford. I have them taking Proctor at 13 right now. Any higher than that feels high for Proctor, but we'll know a lot more about how to project these OTs after the combine. Testing numbers should help sort it out

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
