The 2010 Winter Olympics were held in Vancouver, Canada, and were marked by the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili during a training run just before the opening ceremony, prompting safety changes to the sliding track. Host nation Canada won a record 14 gold medals, the most by any country at a single Winter Games at that time, including a gold medal in men's ice hockey secured in overtime against the United States. Ski cross and several other new events were added to the program.
