Canadian athletes captured medals in a variety of winter Olympic sports over the past few days. Here are the highlights:

Canadian skaters won a pair of short track thrillers.

With the final World Cup stop of the calendar year taking place in the short track hotbed of Seoul, two Canadian men each upset a South Korean star in a photo finish.

On Saturday, Steven Dubois clipped Olympic 1,500m champion Hwang Dae-heon at the line to win the men's 1,000m race. It was the first gold of the season for Dubois, who won a medal of each colour at the 2022 Olympics. Canada's Pascal Dion got the bronze. William Dandjinou and Félix Roussel later made it a double double-podium day for Canada by taking silver and bronze, respectively, in the men's 1,500m.

On Sunday, Dandjinou upgraded to gold in the second men's 1,500m of the weekend and denied Korea's Park Ji-Won of a sweep by outstretching the world champion at the finish line. Dubois grabbed the bronze to once again put a pair of Canadians on the same podium.

The short track World Cup tour concludes in February with a pair of stops in Europe.

Rachel Homan captured her record-extending 14th Grand Slam of Curling women's title.

The three-time Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion and her Ottawa-based rink defeated reigning world champ Silvana Tirinzoni's Swiss team 8-4 in the women's final on Sunday at the Grand Slam's Masters event in Saskatoon. Homan is ranked third in the world, behind Tirinzoni, who's won four straight world titles, and South Korea's Eun-Ji Gim, who beat Homan in the final of last month's Slam in Nova Scotia.
