  • Le Canada & Les Jeux Olympiques D‟Hiver „En Bref‟
    Le Canada & les Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver „En bref‟ Introduction Le 12 février 2010, Vancouver sera la ville hôte des XXIes Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, elle accueillera les athlètes du monde et ceux du Canada. Cette célébration marquera un nouveau chapitre dans la longue et riche histoire de la participation canadienne aux Jeux d’hiver. Le Comité Olympique Canadien a envoyé des athlètes à toutes les éditions des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver et James Merrick, membre du Comité International Olympique (CIO) au Canada, fut un supporter passionné de l’idée de créer des Jeux d’hiver séparés. Lorsque la « Semaine de sports d’hiver », qui devait plus tard être reconnue rétroactivement par le CIO comme les premiers Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, eut lieu à Chamonix (France), du 25 janvier au 5 février 1924, un petit groupe de Canadiens étaient présents pour écrire les débuts de cette histoire. Les sports et les disciplines que pratiquent les Canadiens Aux Iers Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver, les hommes canadiens participèrent à trois des neuf sports et disciplines au programme : patinage de vitesse, hockey sur glace et patinage artistique. L’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse se composait d’un athlète : Charles Gorman. La délégation féminine était également limitée puisqu’elle ne comptait que Cecil Eustace. Eustace concourut en patinage artistique, dans l’épreuve individuelle et avec Melville Rogers dans l’épreuve par couple. Le programme olympique et la délégation canadienne se sont grandement développés au cours des vingt éditions des Jeux d’hiver célébrés jusqu’à présent. Aux XXes Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver à Turin en 2006, les athlètes canadiens ont pris part à l’ensemble des 15 sports et disciplines pour les hommes et aux 13 pour les femmes figurant au programme.
