Antwerp, 1920

Ice hockey makes its Olympic debut—and Canada wins gold.

Amsterdam, 1928

Montreal, 1976

Canada hosts the Olympics for the first time in Montreal.

Seoul, 1988

Ben Johnson croses the finish line to win gold in the 100 m final—only to be stripped of his titles after testing positive for steroids.

Atlanta, 1996

Donovan Bailey is the first Canadain to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 metre race.

Salt Lake City 2002

Jamie Sale and David Pelletier performed perfectly at the games and had the gold medal in the bag—until a French judge threw the competition to the Russian team. After the games, both teams received gold medals.
