Olympians land back at home after Milan Cortina Games
Team Canada earned 21 medals, including five gold, highlighting a strong second-half performance despite challenges like bobsleigh funding, officials said.
- On Monday, Canada's Olympic athletes began arriving home from the Milan Cortina Games, greeted by friends, family and fans as about a dozen supporters waved flags at Toronto Pearson airport.
- Sunday's closing ceremony in Verona featured the twin flames in co-host cities Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo being extinguished, with approximately 90 of Canada's 207 athletes marching in the Verona Arena.
- Canada finished the Games with 21 medals, including five gold, and Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday, `Could not be more proud of you, @TeamCanada`.
- Facing years without sled upgrades, Canada's bobsleigh team has had no investment in the program for four years and no sled technology investment in six, making it hard to be competitive, Cynthia Appiah said.
- Despite moments of national pride, Gallant said, `When there was the curling medal round and then the women's and men's hockey medal rounds, as Canadians we were pretty excited to watch most of that`, but the men's hockey team settled for silver after losing 2-1 to the United States.
