Ten Best Canadian Winter Olympic Moments
Image by: YouTube
Counting down the Winter Olympic moments that most fill Canadian hearts with pride.

In 1924, the first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France. Canada went home with one medal: gold in Men’s ice hockey.

Every Winter Olympics since Canada has improved its medal count. At each Games athletes overcome adversity to add to a Canadian Olympic legacy that keeps getting better. In 2006 in Turin, Italy, Canada won 24 medals, the most ever by Canadians.

The stories that have been written by Canadian athletes for the last 86 years are some of the richest and inspiring to decorate the pages of Canadian sports history.

These are the moments that Canada’s Vancouver 2010 athletes are competing against to win a spot in Olympic history – and Canadian hearts.
