Canadian Athlete, Manager Arrested for Car Theft, Driving Drunk in Pyeongchang

An unnamed Canadian athlete competing at the 2018 Winter Olympics was arrested along with their manager following the theft of a vehicle.

CBC's Susan Ormiston reported the news early Saturday morning:

Ormiston added in another post that the athlete in question was "with his wife and his manager" during the theft, according to the Gangwon police department.

"We can confirm that an incident occurred," said Chris Overholt, chief executive of the Canadian Olympic Committee, per Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. "... Until we know the results of the investigation, we're not going to be able to provide further information at this time."

Canada have been one of the most successful teams at the 2018 Games, and on Saturday, they reached a haul of 11 gold medals in Pyeongchang. Only Norway are ahead of them in the medal table.
