| Winter Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Canada competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from February 7 to 23, 2014. Canadians competed in every discipline except Nordic combined.
The 2014 Games marked the first time a Canadian Olympic team competed in Russia, as Canada and 64 western countries did not take part at the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.
The youngest athlete in Canada's delegation was figure skater Gabrielle Daleman, who turned 16 in January, while curler Jennifer Jones was the oldest athlete at 39.[5]
Canada originally finished these Olympics with 10 gold medals and 25 overall (ranking 2nd and 3rd respectively). This is the second most successful Canadian performance ever, exceeded only by the achievements at the home Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. With the belated luge medal awarded in 2017 after a Russian doping disqualification,[6] Canada briefly tied its Vancouver performance in total medal count. However, the IOC decision was overturned on appeal,[7] bumping the Canadian team back to fourth and the total medal count back to 2nd and 3rd.
History
On Day 1 of the Games, three athletes won the nation's first medals. Canada's first medalist was Mark McMorris, who won a bronze in the slopestyle snowboarding event. Justine Dufour-Lapointe won the first gold medal in freestyle skiing (women's moguls) and her sister, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, finished in second place in the same event, earning the country's first silver medal.
At 19 years 321 days, Justine Dufour-Lapointe became the youngest freestyle skiing Olympic gold medalist. Justine and Chloé, became the third pair of sisters to finish 1–2 in an event at the Winter Games. Their elder sister, Maxime, finished 12th in the same event. It was the fifth time three siblings have competed at the same event at the Winter Games.[8][9]
On February 10, Alexandre Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medalist to defend his Olympic title, and first repeat gold medalist, winning the men's moguls.[10] He became the first Canadian to defend their Olympic gold since Catriona Le May Doan repeated her gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.[11] Le May Doan had been the first Canadian to repeat gold,[12] Bilodeau becoming the second to do so, and the first man.
