Hometown: Montreal, Quebec
Sport: Freestyle skiing – moguls

Sport: Luge
Medal: Bronze, silver

Gabrielle Daleman

Age: 20
Hometown: Newmarket, Ontario
Sport: Figure skating

Kaitlyn Lawes

Age: 29
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Sport: Curling
Medal: Gold

Cassie Sharpe

Age: 25
Hometown: Comox, B.C.

Kaillie Humphries and Phylicia George

Age: 32 and 30
Hometowns: Calgary, Alberta and Markham, Ontario

Medal: Bronze
Bobsledders Kallie Humphries and Phylicia George are a history-making duo. The pair's bronze medal win is Humphries third straight Olympic medal (she won gold in Vancouver and Sochi) and George's first. Unlike veteran Humphries, however, George is quite new to the sport; after competing for Team Canada in London and Rio, she became the first black Canadian woman to compete in both the summer and winter games.
Meagan Duhamel

Age: 32
Hometown: Lively, Ontario
Sport: Pairs figure skating
Medal: Gold and bronze
Meagan Duhamel and pairs figure skating partner Eric Radford were key members of Canada’s gold-medal winning group at the team event.

Age: 21
Hometown: Stoneham, Quebec
Sport: Snowboard – slopestyle
Medal: Silver
First-time Olympian Laurie Blouin wasn't even sure if she'd be able to compete in the finals at her event—just days before at practice, she took a hard fall and had to be checked out at a hospital. A gash on her cheek didn't stop Blouin, though. She won silver at the women's slopestyle finals, Canada's first-ever Olympic medal in a women's snowboarding event other than snowboard cross.
