With Day 3 of the Milan-Cortina Paralympic Winter Games winding down, Canada is already up to seven medals — one gold, three silver and three bronze.

Let's get you up to speed on what happened over the weekend and today, and look ahead to the top Canadians to watch tomorrow.

Nordic skier Natalie Wilkie captured Canada's first (and still only) gold medal of the Games on Sunday, winning the women's standing 12.5-kilometre biathlon event. Wilkie also earned a silver in the 7.5 km biathlon sprint on Saturday and now owns nine Paralympic medals at the age of 25.

Mark Arendz won his 13th career Paralympic medal, taking silver in the men's standing 12.5km biathlon. The 36-year-old bounced back from a fifth-place finish in the sprint race on Saturday.

Alpine skier Kalle Ericsson and his guide Sierra Smith took silver in the men's vision-impaired downhill on Saturday for Canada's first medal of the Games. Today, they added a bronze in the super-G.

Defending men's snowboard cross SB-LL1 champion Tyler Turner crashed during his four-man final on Sunday but was awarded the bronze after the judges ruled that the third-place finisher caused the collision.

42-year-old alpine skier Kurt Oatway took bronze in the men's sitting downhill on Saturday for his second career Paralympic medal. The 2018 super-G champion missed the 2022 Games after a serious crash at the world championships that year.

Defending women's standing downhill champion Mollie Jepsen finished fourth, just missing her seventh career Olympic medal. She was later ruled out for the remainder of the Games due to a knee injury.
