General

Canada is one of the nations that has won at least one medal in all of its participation. Canada is the leading nation in three sports. Canada won 13 gold medals in ice hockey, nine in men's tournaments and four in women. The next best nation is the USA with seven Olympic victories. Canada is also leading in curling with five gold medals, three from men's teams and two from women's teams. The next best team, Sweden, has two winning teams. The third sport in which Canada is the leader is no longer played today. Lacrosse was an Olympic sport in 1904 and 1908, both tournaments were won by Canada.

The first Canadian Olympians were the hurdler George Orton and the middle-distance runner Alex Grant , who competed in Paris on July 14, 1900 . George Orton was the first Canadian medalist and Olympic champion when he won the 2500 meter obstacle race on July 15, 1900.

The figure skater Cecil Smith became the first Canadian woman to take part in the Olympic Games on January 28, 1924 in Chamonix . The first medal was won by a Canadian on July 31, 1928 in Amsterdam , when Fanny Rosenfeld won the silver medal over 100 meters. The first female Olympic champion was Ethel Catherwood on August 4, 1928 , who won the high jump.

The most successful athletes are two women. Clara Hughes and Cindy Klassen each won six medals. The most successful Olympians in terms of the number of gold medals are ice hockey players Jayna Hefford , Caroline Ouellette and Hayley Wickenheiser , both of whom became four Olympic champions between 2002 and 2014. The most successful man is Marc Gagnon , who won three gold and two bronze medals in the short track between 1994 and 2002 .

Clara Hughes is one of the athletes who competed in both summer and winter games. She is one of the few female athletes who has won medals at summer and winter games. Even Pierre Harvey attended Winter Games in both summer and. In 1976 and 1984 he was active as a cyclist. Before Los Angeles he was a cross-country skier in Sarajevo in 1984.

Canada's first Olympic team in 1900 included four athletes. The number of participants first increased to 87 athletes in London in 1908. Then the number of participants fell until 1932 for the first time over 100 athletes took part. Over 200 athletes first traveled to Munich in 1972. The largest team with 407 athletes took part in 1984 in Los Angeles. With 220 winter athletes, the team in Sochi in 2014 was the one with the most participants in the winter games.

The most successful games ever were the 2010 domestic winter games. 26 medals, most of them from winter games, were won. 14 Olympic victories were celebrated in Vancouver. The most successful summer games were the 1984 Los Angeles Games with 10 Olympic victories. A total of 44 medals were won here, most of them from all Olympic Games. Canada is the only nation that has not been able to win a gold medal by hosting the Olympic Games.

The Canadian eight was the first Canadian boat to take part in an Olympic rowing regatta. In 1904 there were only two eights at the start. The Canadian boat consisted of members of the Argonaut Rowing Club and was defeated by the US boat three lengths behind.

In 1908, three Canadian boats, all from the Argonaut Rowing Club , were awarded bronze medals. In two and four, each without a helmsman, the boats were eliminated after the first round. Since the regattas were only contested by four boats each, the losers received the bronze medal. In the eighth the Canadian boat won against the Norwegian eighth, lost in the semifinals to the British from Leander Club and thus also won bronze. In 1912 in Stockholm a bronze medal in the single was added by Everard Butler.

Two silver medals were the yield of the Canadian rowers in Paris in 1924 in the four without a helmsman and in the eight. The eighth won the bronze medal in Amsterdam in 1928, the double scull won silver. Both boats won bronze again in Los Angeles in 1932. In 1936 the rowers were unsuccessful. In the one, Charles Campbell reached number 4.

Canadian boats were also unsuccessful in 1948 and 1952. This changed with the rowing regatta in Melbourne in 1956. The four without a helmsman rowed for the first Canadian Olympic victory in this sport. The eighth drove to the silver medal. The eighth also won silver in Rome in 1960 after being beaten by the German boat. The two without a helmsman was Olympic champion in Tokyo in 1964.

In 1976 in Montreal women were allowed to compete in the Olympic rowing regattas for the first time. The women's eighth finished fourth, the two without a helmsman fifth and the double scull sixth. Among the men, the four-man rowed without a helmsman in 5th place.

The 1984 Los Angeles regattas became very successful for Canadian boats. The eighth of the men became Olympic champion, the women's eighth was fourth. The four with the tax woman for women and the two without the tax woman won silver, bronze went to the double scull for women. The men's double four also won bronze, as did Robert Mills in the single. Andrea Schreiner was fourth in the women's one, in the men's two and four with a helmsman in fifth place.

Participation in Barcelona in 1992 was even more successful. A total of eight Canadian boats won five medals, including all women's boats. Four Olympic champions could be chosen. Both eighth won the regatta as well as the uncontrolled two and four women. The rowers in two and four were also part of the crew of the victorious eight and thus double Olympic champions. There was also a bronze medal for Silken Laumann in a single.

Canadian rowers were also successful in Atlanta in 1996. The men won two silver medals from the lightweight four without a helmsman and from Derek Porter in the one. The eighth finished fourth. In the women, the double scull was Olympic champion. Silken Laumann in the single and the eighth won silver, the double four won bronze. In 2000, the women's eighth bronze won the only rowing medal in Sydney. Derek Porter was fourth in the one, as was the two without a helmsman.

In 2004 in Athens, the four without a helmsman won silver, the eight finished fifth. In the women’s category, the two without a helmsman came in fourth, the lightweight four without a helmswoman came in fifth. Three out of four men's boats won medals in Beijing in 2008.

Canada first took part in the Olympic ice hockey tournament in 1920. The 1920 tournament took place in April and was part of the 1920 Summer Olympics that were held in Antwerp . Canada started the tournament with a 15-0 win over Czechoslovakia. In the semi-finals, the USA were defeated 2-0. The third game against the Swedes was won 12-1.

In the final round Canada played 19-2 against Great Britain and 6-1 against the USA and thus won the second gold medal in a row. In St. Moritz in 1928 Canada became Olympic champion for the third time in a row. The Canadian team was set for the medal round and met Great Britain, Sweden and Switzerland. Canada had three wins with a goal difference of 38-0.

The Canadians won four of five games in the preliminary round and lost 3-1 to the USA in the final, thus winning silver. The men won their three group games and beat Kazakhstan 4-1 in the quarter-finals. In the semifinals they were defeated by the Czech Republic in a shootout after it had been 1-1 in regular time.

In 2010, in Vancouver, both women and men became Olympic champions. In the preliminary round, the men finished second in the group. Canada could only win against Switzerland after a penalty shoot-out, while they lost 3: 5 against the USA. So the Canadians had to play an extra round to qualify for the quarter-finals. Opponent was Germany, Canada won 8: 2. Russia was defeated 7-3 in the quarter-finals and Slovakia 3-2 in the semi-finals. In the final they met the USA again and won the game 3-2. The women won all of their preliminary round matches. In three games they scored a total of 41 goals and conceded only two. Switzerland was defeated 10: 1. In the semifinals, they beat Finland 5-0. In the final, the women, like the men, faced the USA and won 2-0.

In 2014 in Sochi, both teams were able to defend their Olympic victories. The men won all three of their group games. Austria was beaten 6-1, Canada won 2-1 in extra time against Finland. Canada beat Latvia 2-1 in the quarter-finals, and the USA were beaten 1-0 in the semifinals. There was a 3-0 win in the final against Sweden. The women also won all of their preliminary round matches, including against Switzerland 5-0. In the semifinals, Switzerland was beaten 3-1. They met the USA in the final and won 3-2. This was Canada's fourth consecutive Olympic victory. Canada's striker Hayley Wickenheiser , who wore the Canadian flag at the opening ceremony, competed in the Olympic Games for the sixth time. She was present at all five ice hockey tournaments and also took part in the 2000 Olympic softball tournament in Sydney.

The men's team won the group stage 5-1 against Switzerland in 2018. In the semifinals they met the German team and surprisingly lost 3: 4 against the outsider. Canada won the bronze match against the Czech Republic 6-4. The women's team also qualified for the semi-finals, beating the Olympic athletes from Russia (OAR) 5-0 there.

Speed ​​skating

9	13	15th

The first Canadian speed skater was Charles Gorman in Chamonix in 1924. Gorman also competed in St. Moritz in 1928. Here he was seventh over 500 meters. In 1932 in Lake Placid, one silver and four bronze medals were won. In the 1500 meter race, Alexander Hurd won silver in front of his compatriot William Logan. Hurd was bronze over 500 meters, Logan over 5000 meters. Frank Stack won bronze over 10,000 meters.

Canadian speed skaters had to wait 20 years for the next medal. Gordon Audley won bronze over 500 meters in Oslo in 1952. The next medal followed 24 years later. Cathy Priestner became the first Canadian to win a medal when she finished second over 500 meters in Innsbruck in 1976. She finished sixth over 1000 meters, her teammate Sylvia Burka came fourth. Gaétan Boucher took 6th place over 1000 meters in the men.

Boucher won silver over 1000 meters at Lake Placid in 1980 and finished eighth over 500 meters. Sylvia Burka was seventh over 1000 meters. In 1984 in Sarajevo, Gaétan Boucher won the 1000 and 1500 meter races, becoming the first Canadian Olympic champion in speed skating. He also won bronze over 500 meters.

In 1988 in front of a home crowd in Calgary, the speed skaters were without medals. Boucher finished fifth over 1000 meters, Shelley Rhead-Skarvan sixth over 500 meters. Also in 1992 in Albertville, the Canadian team remained without medals. Guy Thibault ran over 1000 meters in 7th place, Susan Auch was sixth over 500 meters.

It wasn't until 1994 in Lillehammer that there was another success to celebrate. Susan also won silver in the 500 meters and was eighth in the 1000 meters. In the men's 1000 meter race, Sylvain Bouchard took 5th place and Pat Kelly 6th place. Things went even better for Canada in 1998 in Nagano. Catriona LeMay Doan was Olympic champion over 500 meters ahead of her teammate Susan Auch. She also won bronze over 1000 meters. The men dominated the 500 meters. Four Canadians were represented in the top five. Jeremy Wotherspoon won silver in front of Kevin Overland, Sylvain Bouchard in 4th and Patrick Bouchard in 5th. Over 1000 meters, Sylvain Bouchard was fifth and Wotherspoon sixth.

In 2002 in Salt Lake City, Catriona LeMay Doan was able to defend her Olympic victory in Nagano over 500 meters. This made her the first female athlete (cross-gender) to defend her Olympic victory. In the 3000 meter race, Cindy Klassen won bronze. Over 5000 meters, she was fourth, just like over 1500 meters. Here she was behind Clara Hughes , who won bronze.

She is the only female athlete in Canada to win medals in both summer and winter games.

In 2006 in Turin the women won at least one medal in five out of six disciplines. Cindy Klassen won five medals (gold over 1500 meters, silver over 1000 meters and in the team pursuit, bronze over 3000 and 5000 meters). With six medal wins, she is still Canada's most successful female participant in the Olympic Games across all genders. Clara Hughes was Olympic champion over 5000 meters. Kristina Groves won silver in the 1500 meters and was fifth in the 1000 and sixth in the 5000 meters. The men won a silver medal in the team pursuit.

In Vancouver 2010 the men's team became Olympic champions in the pursuit. Christine Nesbitt won gold over 1000 meters, Kristina Groves came fourth. Groves then won silver over 1500 meters with Nesbitt in 6th place. There was also a bronze medal over 3000 meters, here Clara Hughes came fifth. Hughes won bronze again in the 5,000-meter race, Groves finished fifth. With her six medals, Hughes caught up with Cindy Klassen as the most successful Olympic athlete in Canada. In 2014 in Sochi, Denny Morrison won silver over 1000 and bronze over 1500 meters. In the team pursuit, the Canadian team came fourth. The women's team came in fifth.

Ted-Jan Bloemen , a native of the Netherlands who has competed for Canada since 2015, became Olympic champion over 10,000 meters in Pyeongchang in 2018. He won silver over 5000 meters.

Cross-country skiing

2	1	-

Canadian cross-country skiers were first used in St. Moritz in 1928. The first athletes in this sport were William Thompson and Merritt Puttman, who were also used in the Nordic combined.

In 1984, Pierre Harvey, an athlete who was also used at the Summer Olympics, competed. Harvey took part in Montreal in 1976 and also in Los Angeles in 1984 as a cyclist in road races and team time trials. In cross-country skiing, he finished 14th in the 30-kilometer race in 1988.

Beckie Scott made 2002 in Salt Lake City the greatest success for Canadian cross-country skiers. A fourth place in the 10-kilometer race was followed by third place in the pursuit. Scott had won the first Canadian medal in cross-country skiing. Later this became the first Canadian Olympic victory in this sport, because the Russian Olga Danilowa and Larissa Lasutina , who were placed before Scott, were convicted of doping with Darbepoetin and disqualified. As a result, all subsequent runners moved up two places, making Scott Olympic champion. In the sprint, Scott reached 5th place.

Together with Sara Renner , Beckie Scott won silver in the team sprint in Turin in 2006. In the pursuit, Scott was sixth, Renner eighth over 10 kilometers. Chandra Crawford achieved the climax with her Olympic victory in the sprint. In 2010, Devon Kershaw finished fifth in the 50-kilometer race. Together with Alex Harvey , he finished fourth in the team sprint. Ivan Babikov finished fifth in the pursuit. Alex Harvey reached 4th place in Pyeongchang in 2018 over 50 kilometers in classic style. Over 15 kilometers in freestyle he was seventh and eighth in the skiathlon.
