Snowboarders Max Parrot and Mark McMorris won Canada’s first medals of the Pyeongchang Olympics on Sunday, and speedskater Ted-Jan Bloemen kept the hardware coming.

Parrot and McMorris claimed silver and bronze, respectively, in men’s slopestyle. Parrot fell in his first two runs but nailed his third to bump McMorris out of the silver medal position with a score of 86.00.

"It’s my first Olympic medal, so it’s a little check next to that," said Parrot, who is from Bromont, Que. "It’s mission accomplished for me here. I’m really happy."

Later, Bloemen took the silver in the men’s 5,000 metres, finishing second only to Dutch legend Sven Kramer.

Bleomen, the world-record holder in the distance, didn’t feel he had his best performance Sunday but said he gave it everything he had.

"That perfect race where you get into a flow and just fly to the finish, it doesn’t always happen and it didn’t happen today," Bloemen said. "But I made the most out of it and I got everything out of myself that I had. I’m a little bit disappointed that I didn’t have more to give today. But overall I’m really happy and really proud to be on the podium and it’s a really big reward for my whole team."

In other results, Canada’s mixed-doubles curling team of John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes finished round-robin play with a 7-3 rout of South Korea. The Canadians finished the round robin at 6-1 and had already qualified for the semifinals.

And in figure skating, ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and women’s singles skater Kaetlyn Osmond made sure made sure Canada kept a solid grip of first place in the team event.

McMorris had been sitting atop the standings after his second-run score of 85.20 before American Redmond Gerard surpassed him with 87.16 points in his final attempt. McMorris fell in his last trip down the course.

It’s the second Olympic bronze for McMorris, who is coming back from life-threatening injuries suffered in a backcountry crash less than a year ago.

The 24-year-old from Regina suffered breaks to his jaw and left arm, a ruptured spleen, a stable pelvic fracture, rib fractures and a collapsed left lung. He spent 10 days in hospital and was on a liquid diet for six weeks.

"I’m on the podium. I probably shouldn’t even be here," said McMorris.

From the start of his recovery, he was determined to get back to his previous snowboarding form. McMorris showed he could do it by winning a World Cup just eight months after the crash.

"The lowest point (was) not being able to move," he said of the time after the crash. "Being super uncomfortable, not being able to talk, that sucked. It was for one stupid mistake. I wish I could take that back every day of my life."

McMorris, who won bronze four years ago at the Sochi Games when slopestyle made its Olympic debut, hit a tree off a jump during a trip to the backcountry with some friends, including his brother Craig.

In women’s slopestyle, Laurie Blouin of Stoneham, Que., was cleared to return to the hill after suffering an apparent head injury during a training session earlier this week at Phoenix Park. She was on the start list for Sunday’s qualification round, which was postponed due to poor weather.

"Canadian snowboarder Laurie Blouin has been cleared for practice by Team Canada medical staff," Canada Snowboard spokesman Brendan Matthews said in an email. "Following thorough testing and evaluation including an independent second opinion, Blouin is asymptomatic and is cleared for practice this morning."

The reigning world champion took a hard fall Friday when her board got stuck in a crack after she landed a double jump. Blouin was taken to a regional hospital as a precaution before returning to the athletes’ village later that day.

Most of the slopestyle competitors will also compete in the big air event in Pyeongchang, a new addition to the Olympic program for 2018. The big air finals are set for Feb. 23-24 at Alpensia Ski Jumping Centre.

Bloemen finished in the 5,000 in 6:11.616. He skated head-to-head with Sverre Lunde Pedersen, edging the Norwegian by two hundredths of a second.

The Dutch-born, Calgary-based skater said he didn’t know if he had beaten Pedersen when he crossed the finish line.

"I was just trying to catch that guy in front of me. I was so tired I could barely stand on my legs but just taking every risk and giving it all to get ahead."

In figure skating, three-time ice dancing world champions and Olympic gold and silver medallists Virtue and Moir scored 80.51 points for their short dance to the Rolling Stones’ "Sympathy For The Devil," "Hotel California" by the Eagles and Santana’s "Oye Como Va."

Osmond of Marystown, N.L., earned a 71.38 score in the women’s competition, good for third in her segment of the event. That added eight points to Canada total for a combined score of 35 points.

Evgenia Medvedeva’s 81.06 points were best in the women’s competition on Sunday, giving the Olympic Athletes from Russia 10 points for a cumulative score of 31, good for second.

The United States sat third after the women’s with 29 points. Japan and Italy also qualified for the next round.
