There’s no shortage of intriguing Canadian storylines on Day 3 of the Beijing Olympics.
Along with a wide range of medal possibilities, Rachel Homan and John Morris play a must-win mixed doubles curling round-robin game finale Italy at 8:05 p.m. ET on Sunday and the Canadian women’s hockey team returns to action against the Russians just over three hours later at 11:10 p.m. ET. If Homan and Morris win, their semifinal will be Monday at 7:05 a.m. ET.
Here’s a look at some of the Canadians striving to hit the podium on Day 3:
