Beijing 2022: Lots of medals thanks to Quebec

We suspected they wouldn’t equal the historic mark of 29 medals won by Canada at the Winter Games, achieved four years earlier in Pyeongchang. But the country’s athletes will not go that far.

Last night, just a few hours before the curtain fell on Beijing, they gathered 26 people, in particular thanks to Justin Krebs’ crew, in the 4-man bobsleigh, which took third place.

Quebec athletes leave China with 21 medals in their pockets. Among the draw, three of them have been on the podium more than once: speed skater Stephen Dubois as well as snowboarders Maxence Parrot and Elliot Grondin. Quebec members will have contributed 13 of the podiums that Canada won in these games.
