As host of the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics, Canada was pressured to do well at the 2006 Games. The Canadian Olympic Committee's goal for 2006 was to have a top three finish in the medal count [1] or 25 total medals, as a start to reach their goal of having the highest medal count at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada had managed to increase its medal count at each Winter Olympics since the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, United States. World Cup results from the 2005-06 season seemed to indicate that Canada would have a good performance in Turin, Italy. Canada met one of those goals and nearly met the other by finishing third behind the United States and Germany with 24 medals.[2].

This was evident in the Canadian participation in the closing ceremonies of the Games and the establishment of the Canada House in Turin. The Games also provided opportunities for organizing committees to gather experience and strategies to run the Games in Vancouver.

Medals

Canada's total medal count of 24 was the highest ever won by the nation in any Winter Olympics, and was the second highest total for the country at any Olympic games (summer or winter), exceeded only by the 44 medals won at the 1984 Summer Olympics which were boycotted by the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries. Not only did Canada increase its total medal count from the previous Winter Games for the 7th straight time (since 1980), but the total medal count was also the "best ever" for Canada for the 5th straight time (since 1992).

Ice Hockey

Hockey, like the previous two Olympics, attracted significant attention from Canadian fans. Many consider the Canadian men's team's performance in Turin as the most disappointing in years. In the last four games of the tournament, Canada failed to score in 11 of 12 periods, losing with the same score (2-0) against Switzerland, Finland, and in the quarter-finals against Russia. Hockey commentators, including Kelly Hrudey, commented that Canada did not play well as a team. The match against the Czech team was believed to be a better performance by the hockey team but the team lost to Russia two days after. Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics was held at the Torino Palasport Olimpico and the Torino Esposizioni in Turin, Italy. ...

The quarter-final game against Russia was watched on television screens across the nation in the afternoon Canadian time. The intensity of the game increased as the scoreless tie extended into the third period.

However, in the Women's Hockey discipline, Team Canada dominated the field with numerous wins leading up to their gold medal winning game.

• 2006 is the first year since 1988 that Canada will have athletes competing in Nordic Combined. Jason Myslicki competes in both Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping. As well, Canada hasn't had athletes in Ski Jumping since 1992 in Albertville.
• While skiing in the final of the Women's Team Sprint in Cross Country Skiing, Sara Renner broke her ski pole. Fortunately, a coach immediately handed her a new pole. It was later revealed that the coach was not from Canada, but from Norway. Sara Renner and her partner Beckie Scott went on to win a Silver medal in the event. Ironically, the Norwegian team finished fourth, so people conclude that if not for the coach then perhaps it would have been Norway that won a medal and not Canada.
• Canada continued its trend of doing well in new events at the Olympics after Beckie Scott and Sara Renner won Silver in the Team Sprint in Cross Country Skiing and both the men's and women's teams won a silver in the Team Pursuit in Speed Skating. Jasey-Jay Anderson finished fifth and Dominique Maltais won bronze in the Snowboard cross, which is also a new event at the Olympics. Canada has historically done well in events that make their Olympic debut. In 1998, Ross Rebagliati won a Gold in Giant Slalom in Snowboarding during its debut. At the 2000 Summer Olympics, Simon Whitfield won Gold in Triathlon, and Daniel Nestor and Sebastien Lareau won gold in doubles Tennis, both of those sports making their Olympic debuts. According to the CBC, Canada has won a total of 33 medals (Summer and Winter) since 1992 in events that were making their debut at the Olympics.
• Lascelles Brown, who previously competed for Jamaica, is competing for Canada in bobsleigh. He would go on to win a silver medal in Two-man bobsleigh with partner Pierre Lueders.

The voice-over says after he landed "Awkward moments seem to follow you around, don't they Mr Bean?", with the theme music of Mr Bean playing and the equivalent of a light beam created by darkening the left and right sides of footage of him gliding down the hill.
