Canada’s latest medallist at the Milan Cortina Games says she is in some pain after crashing in her second run before delivering a gutsy final performance to reach the podium.

Canadian curling coach Scott Pfeifer says it took husband-and-wife duo Brett Gallant and Jocelyn Peterman a while to get going, and that may have caused their early exit.

The Chestermere, Alta., pair finished with a 4-and-5 record after opening with three wins but then lost five straight before wrapping round robin with an 8-4 win over Switzerland.

Pfeifer says the team would have advanced had the event’s round robin lasted another five or six games.

Von Allmen teamed with Tanguy Nef to take gold in the team combined as the event made its Olympic debut.

Skate Canada is expected to provide an update Tuesday on the status of injured Canadian pairs skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek, a spokesperson said.

Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps remain in Canada after withdrawing from the figure skating team event, which concluded Sunday. The individual pairs competition is scheduled for Feb. 15-16 at Milano Ice Skating Arena.
