By The Numbers – The Success of Team Canada

Canada delivered a strong but bittersweet showing at the 2026 Winter Olympics, finishing with 21 total medals — five gold, seven silver and nine bronze according to the updated national tally. Highlights included standout performances in freestyle skiing, speed skating, and curling, with Mikaël Kingsbury, Megan Oldham, and the women’s team pursuit squad among the nation’s gold‑medal winners. Despite this success, the Games ended on a heartbreakingly dramatic note in men’s hockey, where Canada fell 2–1 to the United States in overtime of the gold‑medal final, a matchup they controlled at times but ultimately couldn’t finish.

But The numbers in total have been crunched by Olympic officials, here are some of the Numbers that stand out for Canadians this year:
