In medal count, Canada(25)finished behind Russia(33), Norway(26), and the U.S.(28). The first three countries have so many fine athletes that it's difficult to compete against them. Norway, a small country, excels in great skiing which is very hard to beat.

Canada does have some fine skiers and skaters, but what we're most proud of is our hockey teams(men and women) and our curling teams(men and women). 

The Canadian women's hockey team overcame a 2-0 deficit against the U.S. in the third period and then won it in overtime 3-2. It was a incredible comeback and the greatest highlight of this Olympics. The men's team put on a clinic of defensive hockey against the U.S. and Sweden which lead to shutouts and a gold medal.

In the above photo, The U.S.A's star player, Phil Kessel ended up with no medal, but his sister won a silver in the game with Canada. In the words of the late great comedian, Jackie Gleason, "How sweet it is".

The next finest moment was Canada's curling team gold medal victory against Sweden. Lead by Jennifer Jones, the women's curling team posted 14 straight wins, an incredible record.

Shortly after that win, the men's curling team skipped by Brad Jacobs easily defeated Great Britain to win gold.

It's not very often a bronze medal would make a list of memorable Canadian Olympic moments, but Jan Hudec makes it because he ended a 20-year old medal drought in downhill skiing.

Canada did not equal its medal totals from the 2010 Vancouver games, but the above milestones made up for it.

Please note that Phil Kessel plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL.
