1988 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony Part 16

[SnojetSteve]

There was no country-wide venues to train or breed high quality athletes. Compare alot of the ski hills now to back then, even the smallest hills build crazy terrain parks and cater to a much wider variety.

@daddymobuks If you look at the stats and history, Canada didn't really do all that well at the Winter Olympics before the Calgary Olympics. Mostly medals in hockey and figure skating with the odd win in Alpine skiing or Speed skating. The five medals at Calgary were the most Canada had won at the Winter Games post-WW2. Calgary left a massive legacy of training and competition venues as well as an interest in Winter sport that paved the way for the successful results in Vancouver.

We didn't win a gold medal in Calgary because we had a particularly bad Prime Minister that year.
