The most medals ever won by Canada in the Winter Olympics came in the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, when Canadian athletes won 29 medals, including 11 gold.
Canada’s record for most gold medals in a single Winter Olympics is 14, achieved on home soil at Vancouver 2010.

Canada beat Great Britain 9-6 to win gold in men’s curling. It’s the second Olympic medal for Canadian skip Brad Jacobs, who won gold at the 2014 Games in Sochi. It wrapped up an eventful Games in which Sweden accused Canada vice skip Marc Kennedy of touching the rock again after initially releasing it down the sheet of ice, prompting an outburst of expletives from the Canadian and furor on social media over whether Canada was cheating.

Canada, which lost 5-0 in an earlier round-robin game to the U.S., started off strong, jumping out to a 1-0 lead after Kristin O’Neill scored in the second period. But U.S. captain Hilary Knight forced OT with just 2:04 left in regulation.
Megan Keller scored in the 3-on-3 OT to give the Americans their third women’s hockey gold in eight Olympics.

The legendary moguls skier, who won the Lou Marsh Award as top Canadian athlete in 2018, had the top score of 83.71 with one racer left. But Australia’s Cooper Woods finished with the same mark and won based on the tiebreaker, a higher turn score based on the judges’ technical evaluation of how well an athlete turns through the moguls.

Dubreuil, 33, believed he could win a medal at these Olympics despite being the oldest in the field and failing to crack the podium on the World Cup circuit this season.
The Quebec City native was the favourite in this distance in 2022 but false-started and then finished 0.03 seconds off the podium, before winning silver in the 1,000.
