Canada - Paralympics Facts & Figures

Canada is ranked ninth in the all-time Paralympic Winter Games medal table with 119

total medals, made up of 36 gold, 41 silver and 42 bronze

Of the 119 medals Canada has won, 91 of them - 21 gold, 35 silver and 35 bronze ?

have come in alpine skiing events

Since wheelchair curling was introduced into the Winter Paralympics in 2006, Canada

is the only nation to have won gold and Sonja Gaudet was involved in both teams

Canada has also won medals in cross-country skiing (22), ice sledge hockey (3), and

biathlon (1)

The nation has won 18 gold medals in women's events and 16 in men's events, with

two more gold medals in mixed wheelchair curling

Four years ago in Vancouver, Canada enjoyed its best ever Winter Paralympics

winning 19 medals, including 10 golds

Alpine skier Lauren Woolstencroft won five of Canada's 10 golds in 2010. She

became the first athlete to win five gold medals in alpine skiing in a single edition of

the Paralympic Winter Games

Having won 10 Paralympic Winter Games medals already (seven gold, two silver and

one bronze), Brian McKeever could become Canada's most decorated Winter

Paralympian in Sochi. Lauren Woolstencroft has won the most golds (eight) whilst

Lana Spreeman has won 13 medals in total.
