For the first time, Canadian athletes were paid for medals earned.

As natives of the host country, the Canadian athletes are hoping to perform well.

These Games were the second at which Canadian athletes participated.

The Canadian athletes were a unified group for the first time and were unofficially regarded as a team.

She gave away the money she received for the occasion, to support Canadian athletes.

"There's a common room where all the Canadian athletes hang out," Zamuner said.

The center, with a budget of $1.8 million, conducts 2,500 annual drug tests on Canadian athletes.

Several Canadian athletes received permission to do the same.

This would result in a total of 91 medals earned by Canadian athletes during the Games.

Several Canadian athletes, considered as strong medal contenders, missed out of the podium during their final events.
