Meet the Olympic medal-winning women from Canada at Beijing 2022 - from Bobsleigh to Speed Skating

The women of Team Canada contributed to more than half the team's medal total of 24 so far at Beijing 2022.

Two golds courtesy of the women's speed skating team pursuit and ice hockey are among a total of 11 medals Canadian women have won in individual and single-sex team events.

Two further bronzes in the mixed team aerials and ski jump mean they have contributed to 13 of Team Canada's 24-strong medal haul at the Olympic Winter Games.

Nurse set a new Olympic record with 18 points in the tournament, one more than the previous mark held by fellow Canada great Hayley Wickenheiser.

“I remember going into my granny’s craft room and making these medals and giving them out to my family and telling them I was going to be on that team one day. I’m so grateful for their support throughout the years."

“We’re going to continue to do that,
