Team Canada didn鈥檛 bring home any medals of day five of the PyeongChang Olympics but athletes in several sports made moves towards the podium.

While you were sleeping:

Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford returned to the ice following their gold medal win in the team event. The figure skating duo is sitting in third in the pairs short program.

Duhamel said that while she鈥檚 still elated about her newly-minted gold medal, it was time to focus and get back to work.

鈥淚 thought of [the gold medal] yesterday for a split second,鈥 she said.

鈥淚 was stroking around the ice and thought, 鈥業 am an Olympic champion鈥. Then I went, 鈥業 want another Olympic medal, get back to work鈥.鈥
