The Italian city of Turin hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics, where Canada's medal count was the third largest, smaller than those of Germany's and the United States. Snowboard Cross was on the Olympic program for the first time. In this event, Dominique Maltais won a Bronze medal in the women's competition. Cindy Klassen would set a Canadian record by winning five medals (one gold, two silver and two bronze) in speed skating.

Hosting the Games

Canada has hosted the Games twice, and has been selected to host the 2010 Games."Canada also won 1 gold medal and 1 silver medal at the 1906 Summer Olympics, which the IOC no longer recognizes as an official Olympic games, so those medals are not counted in this table."
