Canada sets Olympic gold record

Who knew? Canada has rocked the Vancouver Olympics in a way nobody anticipated. The most medals, not the most gold, was the stated goal of the Own the Podium program. Canada fell well short in the first, but was nailing the second by the penultimate day of the Games on Saturday. The home team was assured of winning the most gold medals in the 2010 Winter Games with 13, and had a chance at a 14th heading into Sunday's men's hockey final against the U.S. With three medal events remaining, Germany was second Saturday with 10 gold. Canada's 11th came in speedskating, the 12th in snowboarding and the 13th in men's curling Saturday to establish a record for gold medals by a host country in a Winter Olympics. The previous record was 10 by Norway (1994) and the U.S. (2002).
