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.

Thanks, I was having trouble with the translated link never showing the page I wanted.

Here's from India

Canada were already assured of finishing top of the standings for the first time at either a Winter or Summer Olympics but beating their American neighbours was the perfect ending for the hockey-crazy host nation.
