Three-time Olympian Patrick Chan, whose legendary figure skating skills and artistry on the ice have delighted Canadian fans over the past 10 years, has retired at age 27.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir treated the fans in South Korea to what is likely their final skate on Olympic ice, sending a distinctly Canadian message back home.
Olympic Athlete from Russia Alina Zagitova took home gold, but according to CBC Sports figure skating expert Pj Kwong, it was Canadian bronze medallist Kaetlyn Osmond who was the star of the show.
Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond is very much in the medal hunt after posting a season-best score of 78.87 in the women's short program on Tuesday. Entering Thursday's free skate, she sits third behind Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva from the Olympic Athletes from Russia.
Canada’s Kaetlyn Osmond thrust herself into podium consideration with a strong third-place performance in the women’s short program at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea on Wednesday.

For a long time, the women's figure skating event in Pyeongchang looked like it would be a coronation for the unbeatable Evgenia Medvedeva. But a foot injury opened the door for fellow Russian Alina Zagitova, and now it appears to be a two-horse race for Olympic gold.
For CBC Sports analyst Pj Kwong, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are the greatest ice dance team of all-time. They proved it again at the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. More importantly, the Canadian duo reached a level that won't be seen in quite some time — if ever.
Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir performed an enthralling rendition of their Moulin Rouge free skate, winning gold in the final chapter of their Olympic skating careers.
