Canada succeeded in reaching its goal of "owning the podium" over the last two weeks. The government and the national Olympics committee invested around 80 million euros into bringing Canada to the top of the winter sport podium, which is no proof that money can buy medals but certainly an example that it doesn't hurt one's chances.
