The current highs are Canada’s 14 gold and the 37 medals won by the United States in 2010 in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C. An analytics company predicts a big Winter Olympics for Norway and says Canada will finish fourth in total medals won next year in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Finishing first in total medals won was the target in both 2010 and 2014, when Canada won 26 medals for third and 25 for fourth, respectively. Canada ranks third among countries in gold medals (31) and total medals (116) so far this winter sport World Cup season behind Germany (64, 163) and the United States (45, 126). That puts pressure on the IOC to act, though a blanket ban on Russian athletes seems unlikely.
