Canada's medal count stands at 18

Another gold for Canada and what a way to bid adieu for a Canadian short track star.

Charles Hamelin, Steven Dubois, Pascal Dion and Jordan Pierre-Gilles claimed top spot in the men’s 5,000m relay.

Hamelin has said the Beijing Games, his fifth Olympic Games, will be his last.

Meantime, in curling action, Canada's men's curling team is guaranteed to play a match for an Olympic medal.

Brad Gushue's rink clinched a berth in the semifinals without throwing a single rock today after China beat Switzerland, and Great Britain defeated the Russian Olympic Committee.

As well, Canada's Jennifer Jones improved her playoff chances by edging American Tabitha Peterson 7-6. 

And in hockey action, Canada's men's team have been defeated by Sweden by a score of 2-0.

Canada's women's team however will face the USA for the gold medal tonight. 

The game will start at 11:00 p.m. and can be watched on the CBC.
