Curlers Peterman, Gallant first athletes named to Canada's 2026 Olympic team
TORONTO – Curlers Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant are the first athletes named to Canada's team for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
The husband-and-wife team from Chestermere, Alta., will represent Canada in mixed doubles curling at the Games, Curling Canada and the Canadian Olympic Team announced Monday.
Peterman and Gallant provisionally earned their nomination to the Olympic team by winning the Canadian mixed doubles trials in January.
They secured Canada's spot in the Olympic tournament with a sixth-place finish last week at the world mixed doubles curling championship in Fredericton.
Seven countries joined host Italy in the 10-team field based on qualification points from combined placements at the 2024 and 2025 mixed doubles championships.
The final two spots will be filled following a December qualification event in Kelowna, B.C.
Mixed doubles curling will take place Feb. 4-10 n Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Canada has also secured spots in the women's and men's Olympic curling events based on its combined ranking at the 2024 and 2025 world championships for each gender.

Don't believe players' cooked-up, ‘parroted' story, Crown says in closing arguments at Hockey Canada trial
LONDON, Ont.—In making her final pitch for convictions at the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, a Crown attorney repeated the same words the prosecution used in its opening statement nearly eight weeks ago: 'This case may not look the way one anticipates a sexual assault to look.' The central issue in the case is whether the complainant, whose identity is covered by a standard publication ban, consented to sexual activity with Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote, all members of the 2018 Canadian world junior championship team, in a room at the Delta Armouries hotel in the early hours of June 19, 2018, when she was 20 years old.
