It was a historic day for Canada at the Olympics. In women's ski cross, Canada won gold and silver to increase its medal total to 26.
1-2 FINISH! π¨π¦ Kelsey Serwa and Brittany Phelan win gold and silver in womenβs ski cross.
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
26 is a significant number because that's the record for Canada for total medals at a Winter Olympics and it was set on home soil in 2010.
Later on, Canadian figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond had a chance to break that record and a masterful outing on the ice allowed her to do just that.
Osmond was guaranteed a silver or bronze after her skate, but ultimately ended up with bronze after the final skater beat her score.
We doubt that matters to her at this point, though, because bronze is an incredible accomplishment and Osmond's name will go down in the history books as the athlete to capture Canada's 27th medal, a new record.
Once the results were final, the internet congratulated her on her bronze medal and celebrated the new record.
Brilliant. Captivating. Commanding. Congratulations on Olympic π₯ @kaetlyn_23!!! ππ»π¨π¦β€οΈ

27 medals also is the most for #CAN at any non-boycotted #Olympics ever (won 44 medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer games, which were boycotted by several Eastern Bloc nations) https://t.co/pvDgQ57MnU
