Canada breaks Olympic gold record

14 golds in an Olympics where underdogs ruled, favourites faltered

After a stunning victory in the men’s hockey final, Canada walks into the closing ceremonies with a record-setting 14 gold medals—the most ever held by a single country at a Winter Olympics, not to mention the most ever held by Canada, or by a host country. The U.S. finishes the Games with the most medals at 37 and Germany comes in second with 30 overall.
