Canadian Olympians continue to shine
Osborne-Paradis, Duhamel and Radford back in the medals
It's been almost a year since the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but several Canadian athletes are still making their country proud on the international stage.
Saturday was a great day for Canadian Olympians. Pair figure skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford earned gold in Japan for their second victory of the season on the Grand Prix circuit. They were part of the Canadian figure skating team that took home silver in Sochi.
Duhamel didn't take very much time to bask in her victory. The 28-year-old tweeted that she is already looking forward to the 2014-15 Grand Prix final in Barcelona, which will be held Dec. 11-14.
