The number 13 is not unlucky for the host nation.

On Saturday, Canada had three gold medal finishes, becoming only the third country to ever win 13 gold medals at a Winter Games.

The record could be broken on Sunday when the men’s hockey team meets the undefeated U.S. club in a highly anticipated gold match up.

 Alpine skiing: Men’s slalom

Italy’s Giuliano Razzoli won gold in the men’s slalom event on the Dave Murray run with a time of 1:39.32.

Ivica Kostelic of Croatia finished his run 0.16 seconds later to win silver, while Sweden’s Andre Myhrer took bronze in 1:39.76.  

Canada had three athletes in the race.

Julien Cousineau placed a respectable eighth out of 120 competitors. Local favourite Michael Janyk finished in 13th and Trevor White came in 31st.

Bobsleigh: four-man
