Here Are All The Medals Won At The Beijing Olympics By Team Canada
Canadian athletes are making history at the Winter Olympic Games! 🇨🇦
Now that the Beijing Olympics are officially over, Team Canada athletes have made history on the podium and won 26 medals in total for their country.
The Games, which took place from February 4 to 20, saw 215 Team Canada athletes taking part and going for gold.
Athletes competed in 14 sports and 109 events including 51 men's, 46 women's and 12 mixed competitions.
The Games were historic for Team Canada as a whole and quite a few Canadian athletes including speed skater Charles Hamelin.
Hamelin had the chance to make major history in Beijing at his final Olympics. Before the competition started, he had five Olympic medals and needed just one more podium finish to tie Cindy Klassen's record as Canada's most decorated Winter Olympian and Andre De Grasse's record as Canada's most decorated male Olympian.
The athlete succeeded in winning his sixth career Olympic medal to tie both records and he did it in his last Olympic race ever!
Also, two Canadians — Isabelle Weidemann and Steven Dubois — won a "full set" in Beijing which is a gold, silver and bronze medal. They are just the second and third Team Canada athletes to ever accomplish this during the Winter Games.
Before the Games started, a virtual medal table predicted that Canada would come in fifth place overall and take home 22 medals with six gold, five silver and 11 bronze medals.
Canadian athletes smashed that out of the water and landed on the podium 26 times and won 4 gold, 8 silver and 14 bronze medals.
Here are all 26 medals that Team Canada won at the Beijing Olympics!
Silver medal: long track speed skating
Ivanie Blondin won silver in the women's mass start long track speed skating event and missed the top spot on the podium by just 0.06!

Gold medal: long track speed skating
Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann won gold in the women's team pursuit.
There was a dramatic end to the race as the Canadians were trailing the Japanese team before one opposing skater fell during the final turn which allowed Canada to cross the finish line first.

Bronze medal: snowboard cross
Eliot Grondin and Meryeta O'Dine won bronze in the first-ever Olympic mixed team snowboard cross event.
It was a dramatic race as an Italian snowboarder came down on O'Dine's back after a jump and they both crashed, which put Canada out of contention for gold or silver.
However, the Canadian athlete managed to get up first and finish the race to secure a bronze medal.
Both Grondin and O'Dine have already won medals in Beijing during their individual snowboard cross events!
Silver medal: long track speed skating

Bronze medal: snowboard cross
Meryeta O'Dine made the podium and won bronze in the women's snowboard cross at Beijing 2022.
