Winter Olympics appearances (overview)

Canada competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics, which were held in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022.[1][2] Canada has competed in all 24 editions of the Winter Olympics.

On November 17, 2020, two-time Olympic gold medallist in speed skating Catriona Le May Doan was named as chef de mission of the delegation.[3][4]

The Canadian team consisted of 215 athletes (109 men and 106 women) competing in 14 sports.[5] Canada did not have any representation in the sport of Nordic combined. This was the third-largest Canadian Winter Olympic team after 2014 (222 athletes) and 2018 (225 athletes).[6] The full delegation consisted of 414 people, including athletes, coaches, officials, and staff.[7][8]

On February 2, 2022, short-track speed skater Charles Hamelin and hockey player Marie-Philip Poulin were named as Canada's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[9][10][11] Meanwhile, triple medallist speed skater Isabelle Weidemann was named the closing ceremony flagbearer.[12][13][14][15]

The Canadian team won 26 medals, tied with 2010 for the second-highest total in history.[16] The four gold medals won represented the lowest total since 1994 and meant the country finished outside the top ten of the medal table for the first time since 1988, a span of 34 years.[17] However, the CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, David Shoemaker, was "delighted with that performance".[16]
