Canada now has eight Olympic medals, and is 12th in the medal standings.

Canada has snagged two more Olympic medals.

Steven Dubois won silver in the men's 1,500 short track speedskating earlier today.

He crossed the line in two minutes and 9.254 seconds, securing Canada's second silver medal.

As well, snowboarder Meryeta O'Dine won bronze in the women's snowboard cross.

It's the first Olympic medal for O'Dine, who is making her Olympic debut.

She made Canada's team for the 2018 Pyeongchang Games but suffered a concussion while training two days before her event.

Canada now has one gold, two silver and five bronze medals at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
