The Invictus Games 2025 just had its busiest day, with medals handed out across five sports at three Sea to Sky venues: Whistler Mountain, Whistler Olympic Park (WOP) and the Whistler Sliding Centre (WSC). Many athletes and fans caught a glimpse of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, as he made his way around town.

"Family is medicine," said Durand, a retired Canadian Army sergeant once deployed to Afghanistan and Latvia, in a French-language interview on the Invictus Games YouTube channel. "I've lost a lot of friends on missions. I'm very lonely, very internal. It's like I'm stuck inside, but when I was on a mission, we had team spirit. Everything I had in the Army, and lost in between, I'm finding it again with the Invictus Games."
An honourable mention goes out to Chris McGowan, who just missed the ISK5 skeleton podium in fourth place.
Looking ahead to Wednesday: more alpine skiing and snowboarding is on tap between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Lower Olympic on Whistler Mountain.
