. On Day 2 of the Games,
Mark McMorris won the bronze medal in the men's slopestyle. This was eleven months after the snowboarder ended up in a coma. Pairs skater
Eric Radford became the first openly gay man to win a gold medal at any Winter Olympics, as part of the Canadian team that won the team figure skating competition. A corner of Canada Olympic House was set aside as
Pride House for the duration of the Olympics.
Alex Gough won Canada's first ever permanent luge medal on February 13. She had been part of the 2014 luge relay team which briefly won a previous Olympic bronze due to a Russian doping disqualification, but that finding had been overturned on appeal. On February 23, Canada broke its record for most ever Winter Olympic medals, previously at 26, with figure skater
Kaetlyn Osmond winning the 27th medal. A day before the closing ceremony, on February 24, Canada won its 28th medal when
Sebastien Toutant took gold in the first ever "big air" competition in snowboarding. That medal was Canada's 500th Olympic medal (not counting two medals (gold and silver) at the
1906 Olympic Games). Canada maintained its record for the most gold medals at a single Games—14 at Vancouver 2010—and now shares the honor with Norway and Germany, which equalled that mark at these Games. ==Medalists==
