Team Canada has earned its second Olympic luge medal, winning bronze in the team relay.

Alex Gough, Sam Edney, Tristan Walker and Justin Snith raced to silver in a time of two minutes 24.872 seconds.

Gough won Canada’s first ever luge medal on Tuesday with a bronze in the women’s event.

Pairs figure skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford added to the medal total overnight as they won the bronze medal skating to Adele’s “Hometown Glory”.

The win marks Canada’s first Olympic pairs medal since Jamie Sale and David Pelletier captured gold in 2002 in Salt Lake City.

Duhamel and Radford were thrilled to have capped their final season with a bronze medal.

It’s the second medal of the Games for two-time world champions, who helped lead Canada to gold in the team event earlier in the week.
