It was a Winter Olympics plagued by COVID-19 fears, political controversies and yet another Russian doping scandal.
The Beijing games themselves led to some great results for Canadian athletes, bringing home 26 total medals: 4 gold, 8 silver, and 14 bronze.
Canada’s Justin Kripps piloted his crew to a bronze medal in four-man bobsled on the final day at the Beijing games – Canada’s last medal of the Olympics.

Wait!!! The Olympics were on??
Never even saw anything
China literally has concentration camps…..but hey look over here!
So, on one hand they tell us we are fighting a pandemic so bad that we have to mask up our children….but at the same time we will send hundreds of people to the country of origin or the virus to play games. Got it.
I regret to say : Did not watch the Olympics this year . The vibes were simply not there.
Get to the right channels that have debunked these lies and racist propaganda. Prove that these lies that you believe are true. Ever wonder why other Muslim countries have not come forward like the US and the west about the so called "Muslim genocide" in Xinjiang that the US and West wanted to use this blatant lie with the sole hegemonic aim of containing China! What is the real reason for 911 to happen? Islamophobia was created by USA and NATO to spread hatred for Muslims! They make excuses to bomb Irag and murdered and displaced Millions of Muslims in othe Muslim countries. Still remember their test tube of washing powder which Collin Powell claimed to be WDM to give them the excuse to commit their Muslim Genocide in other Muslim countries? Now you are telling me that US and the West love the Uigher Muslims in China? Use your brain or is it too brainwashed that you cannot use it anymore?
I did not watch, the fact Canadians went there while China is do ethnic cleansing, harvesting organs from alive donors and no human rights for its people and pretend all is good, is selfish and a compete disrespect for fellow humans . All the medals are tainted with blood. And for the athletes who attended and ignored all the facts just for personal gain. May you always carry the stain of the blood medals for all your days That will be your legacy to all Canadians
For some reason I was not very interested in these games.
Heck yea lets go italian olympics! 🇮🇹
Olympics? Lol I could care less. A bunch of blood clot zombies bringing back another super bug no doubt. You will never meet a more selfish ego maniac than that of a professional or Olympic athlete. They are mostly all narcissists.
China has NO right to hold any games..and the fact canada would send athletes there and not boycott those evil ccp bastards makes me embaressed to be a canadian.
I'm willing to bet they bring home a few diseases too.
There were Olympics this year?
It's all fun and games while Uyghurs are enslaved, mutilated and killed.
ZERO respect for any of the canadian athletes that went to support china and their "games".
Screw all of them. You should have boycotted. You make me sick
Who cares. Superbowl played nobody had masks on. Olympics went on when there's a supposed pandemic. It's all b*******. Didn't watch any of the Olympics and I don't care and I will never watch them again. While Canadians are speed skating in China the Canadians in Canada are getting beat on the street by un troops.
Canadian Athletes no support from this guy ever again.
Do they know they are leaving China to come back to China
Alleged human rights abuses. Yes propaganda many parliamentary investigations prove human rights abuses but lets say alleged anyway.
Are the olympics officially rigged?
Canada should have nothing to do with these human rights abusers. I mean, kids in cages? Bombs as diplomacy? Highest incarceration rate on the planet? Oops! Sorry, I was thinking of some other country.
Who cares? We are being destroyed as a nation and the media is supporting it all the way. Unreal, hope every journalist starves to death.
Who cares ?
Who the %@#$cares about the wasteful Olympics???
Lowest viewership ever. People tuned out the communist games.
Now they get to come home to a country that is in turmoil, what a treat for our athletes.
As long as they don't bring home a new 'scary variant' 🙄
GFY 'Team Canazuela'! See what happens when you go to a Communist country for your own 'glory' 🖕
Who Care's it was in China so I didn't watch any of it.
Who watched any of the CCP games? I didn’t see a minute of the games.
What Olympic ? 2022 had a HUNGER GAMES.
TV/ITN Sports Journalist: —
"As this winter olympics comes to a close,we have some new stars, here in Canada!! "
A TV/Internet viewer:"🤨🤨..".Hmm!"…"The Olympics!?" 🤔🤔…. "Hmmm."….."Mmmkay.😏😏." 🤤🤤
Sorry no one watched the olympics there was more important things going on in Canada.
Can we stop politicizing China in Bejing Games?
The so-called human rights abuses by China allowed it rise and become a world power. Its people enjoyed prosperity, end of famine
If it's less on Gold, then it's lowing in ranking. We are regressing in winter sports, but mostly we are regressing as a democratic country. These athletes will be coming back to a dictatorship, not too different from the country they arriving from. After all, China is the country Justin Trudeau admires the most for its basic dictatorship.
here comes a new variant.
Laughing,no one watched
Bravo, Canada athletes. 👏👏👏 It's time to talk about the human rights of indigenous graves and truck drivers.🤪🤪🤪
Get your money out of the banks my Northern Friends. There’s a bank run in progress. The government is seizing bank accounts. People are panicking.
Yh8
The Olympics have been dead for a decade. Solely due to its joke of a governing body.
Canadian sport is white-only. Just noticing.
