Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics
Encyclopedia
Canada
competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics
in Turin
, Italy
, with a team of 196 athletes and 220 support staff.
As host of the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics
, Canada was pressured to do well at the 2006 Games. The Canadian Olympic Committee
's goal for 2006 was to have a top three finish in the medal count or 25 total medals, as a start to reach their goal of having the highest medal count at the 2010 Winter Olympics
in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada had managed to increase its medal count at each Winter Olympics since the 1980 Winter Olympics
in Lake Placid, New York
, United States
. World Cup results from the 2005-06 season seemed to indicate that Canada would have a good performance in Turin
, Italy
. Canada met one of those goals and nearly met the other by finishing third behind the United States
and Germany
with 24 medals. The Games were also the first litmus test for the increased athletic funding and resources pursued by the Own the Podium - 2010 program.
Another task for the Canadian contingent was to promote the 2010 Games, Vancouver and surrounding region, the province of British Columbia, as well as Canada as a nation. This was evident in the Canadian participation in the closing ceremonies
of the Games and the establishment of the Canada House in Turin
. The Games also provided opportunities for organizing committees to gather experience and strategies to run the Games in Vancouver.
which were boycotted by the Soviet Union
and other Eastern Bloc
countries. Not only did Canada increase its total medal count from the previous Winter Games for the 7th straight time (since 1980
), but the total medal count was also the "best ever" for Canada for the 5th straight time (since 1992
).
Canada won at least one medal in 10 of the 15 sport disciplines competed at the games, and gold medals in 6 different disciplines; both feats were unmatched by any other nation. Canada also had the most 4th and 5th place finishes (14 and 9 respectively) of any country in these games. These results support the effectiveness of the Own the Podium - 2010 program.
Cindy Klassen
bested the total Olympic medals collected in a single Games by a Canadian, with 5, and bested the total Olympic medal count of any Canadian (Winter and Summer) with 6. The previous record of 3 medals at a single Olympics was held by Gaetan Boucher
for the 1984 Winter Olympics
and Marc Gagnon
at the 2002 Winter Olympics
. Meanwhile, Clara Hughes
tied the old mark of 5 career Olympic medals, held by Marc Gagnon
and Phil Edwards. Sixteen of the 24 medals were won by female athletes. At age 50, Russ Howard
became the oldest Canadian gold medalist in Olympic history.

Jennifer Heil
became the first Canadian woman to ever win gold in freestyle skiing
after winning for women's moguls. At the 2002 Winter Olympics
in Salt Lake City, she finished fourth and ended up a hundredth of a point off the podium.
Dale Begg-Smith
, who won gold in men's moguls for Australia, was born in Canada and holds dual citizenship. He originally started skiing in Canada but found Canada's training program too restrictive. He moved to Australia to have more time to work on his business interests. Ironically, his win bumped Marc-Andre Moreau
down to 4th place and off of the podium.
Men
Women
Hockey, like the previous two Olympics, attracted significant attention from Canadian fans. Many consider the Canadian men's team's performance in Turin as the most disappointing in years. In the last four games of the tournament, Canada failed to score in 11 of 12 periods, losing with the same score (2-0) against Switzerland, Finland, and in the quarterfinals against Russia. Hockey commentators, including Kelly Hrudey
, commented that Canada did not play well as a team. The match against the Czech Republic was believed to be a better performance by the hockey team but the team lost to Russia two days after.
The quarterfinal game against Russia was watched on television screens across the nation in the afternoon Canadian time. The intensity of the game increased as the scoreless tie extended into the third period.
However, in the women's hockey discipline, Team Canada dominated the field with numerous wins leading up to their gold medal winning game.

Snowboard Cross
Canada became the first country to set a new record at the 2006 Winter Olympics when both its men's and women's teams set an Olympic record
in the qualifying round of the team pursuit.
Cindy Klassen
set or tied several medal records. She became the first Canadian to win five medals in one Olympics, winning a gold (1500 m), two silver medals (Team Pursuit, 1000 m) and two Bronze medals (3000 m, 5000 m). Her bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics
gives her a total of six medals and the title of the most decorated Canadian Olympian, winter or summer. Tied at five medals for Canada are short track speed skater Marc Gagnon
, track athlete Dr. Phil Edwards, and speed skater Clara Hughes
, who won her fourth and fifth medal at the 2006 Olympics. In addition to the Canadian medal records, Klassen also tied Eric Heiden
to win the most medals by a speed skater at a single Olympics.

Team Pursuit
player Danielle Goyette
carried the flag
for Canada in the opening ceremony
. Cross-country skier Beckie Scott
, bobsledder Pierre Lueders
, long-track speedskaters Cindy Klassen
and Clara Hughes
all said that they would not submit their names to carry the flag.
Scott, Klassen and Hughes all had events within two days of the opening ceremonies and believed that not participating in the opening ceremonies would give them a better chance at a finishing well in their events. Lueders turned down the chance because at the time it appeared that his bobsleigh partner, Lascelles Brown
, would not be granted Canadian citizenship. Afterwards, Lueders said he would carry the flag but said that Brown would be a much better choice.
Some criticized these choices, including hockey analyst Don Cherry, who called the athletes unpatriotic and said that other athletes would have loved to have had the opportunity. Others, including past flag bearer Catriona LeMay Doan
spoke in favour of their decisions, saying that the opening ceremonies were a long process and took a lot of energy. She criticized Don Cherry, saying that many athletes in the past had turned down the flag-bearing opportunity at the opening ceremonies in order to focus on their competition, and that Don Cherry, having never participated in international athletic competition, does not have the right to be critical of Olympic athletes.
After winning five medals (more than any other Canadian at a Winter Games), Cindy Klassen accepted the selection as the flag bearer for the closing ceremonies
.
. The pavilion opened its doors to the public on January 23, 2006, at piazza Valdo Fusi, in the city centre and would remain open until March 20 at the conclusion of the Paralympic Winter Games
. Aside from showcasing Canadian culture, the building would host meetings for companies from British Columbia and Italy who would be interested to develop business partnerships. The building would be donated to the city of Turin and would be transferred to a new city park after the Games.
During the closing ceremonies
of these Games, there was a brief segment in which Canada delivered a preview of the 2010 Games. This included a choreographed program featuring Avril Lavigne
, raising of the Canadian flag
, and singing of O Canada
by opera star Ben Heppner
, himself a B.C. native. The handover of the Games was highlighted by Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan
, a quadriplegic, accepting and waving the Olympic flag
. Aside from the flag handed from the mayor of Turin Sergio Chiamparino
, the City of Vancouver is now the custodian of the actual Olympic flag lowered at Stadio Olimpico
during the closing ceremonies.
British Columbia Premier
Gordon Campbell, himself a Vancouver native, and Governor General
Michaëlle Jean
attended the Games' competitions and closing ceremonies. They also availed themselves to the news media, sharing their thoughts about British Columbia and Canada welcoming the world in 2010. The federal government was represented by the attendance of Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay
at the closing ceremonies.
A number of Canadian citizens with dual citizenship have competed for other countries and served as their respective flag bearers:

Ice hockey
Hockey, like the previous two Olympics, attracted significant attention from Canadian fans. Many consider the Canadian men's team's performance in Turin as the most disappointing in years. In the last four games of the tournament, Canada failed to score in 11 of 12 periods, losing with the same score (2-0) against Switzerland, Finland, and in the quarterfinals against Russia. Hockey commentators, including Kelly HrudeyKelly Hrudey

, commented that Canada did not play well as a team. The match against the Czech Republic was believed to be a better performance by the hockey team but the team lost to Russia two days after.
The quarterfinal game against Russia was watched on television screens across the nation in the afternoon Canadian time. The intensity of the game increased as the scoreless tie extended into the third period.
However, in the women's hockey discipline, Team Canada dominated the field with numerous wins leading up to their gold medal winning game.
