Canada's Christine de Bruin won bronze in the first-ever Olympic monobob race on Monday while a familiar face stood atop of the podium. De Bruin earned the bronze medal with a combined time of four minutes 21.03 seconds in the Olympic debut of the pilot-only bobsled event.

The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said the decision to allow Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to continue to compete at the Beijing Olympics despite failing a pre-Games doping test "extremely unfortunate."

"The situation that has unfolded with respect to the Russian figure skating athlete’s doping case is extremely unfortunate and sad for the athletes," the COC said in a statement Monday. "The COC is fully committed to clean sport and we firmly believe that no one involved in doping or other corrupt practices has a place in the Olympic movement."

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CA) ruled Monday the 15-year-old Valieva should not be provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned heart drug before the Olympics on Christmas Day.

In men's action, Brad Gushue defeated Italy's Joel Retornaz 7-3 in nine ends. The win puts Canada with a 4-2 record. Canada will face China at 8 p.m. EST.
