In 1928, Switzerland became the only host country to fail to win a medal at the Winter Olympics. Canada (in 1988), Yugoslavia (in 1984) and France (in 1924) join Switzerland as the only host countries to not win a gold medal during the Winter Games.
Athletes will be competing in 15 sports at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The Olympic Charter requires that there be a minimum of 15 Olympic sports at each Summer Games.
Canada won 15 medals at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games, two more than the United States. It was the first time Canada topped the United States in the overall medal standings.
