Canada a long shot for medals at 2026 Winter Olympics
Watching former world champions and/or Olympic-medallists Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko and Patrick Chan glide along Blanshard Street before nearly 7,000 fans in Stars on Ice on Tuesday night was a striking reminder that Canada’s greatest days in skating are in the past.
“It’s a bitter question for me to answer because I am no longer in the trenches,” said Browning, 56, prior to his last career show at the Memorial Centre on Tuesday in Stars on Ice. It was Brian Orser who started it off in the modern era with his Battle of the Brians home-nation silver medal in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, followed in turn by Browning’s four world championships and then by Olympic-medallists Elvis Stojko, Jeffrey Buttle and Patrick Chan. There was always that next guy to carry the torch.“I do know it will be a while until Canada is threatening for gold again.
