The 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Salt Lake City, Utah, held in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks the previous year, which led to unusually tight security. The Games were also affected by a bribery scandal involving members of the IOC who had accepted gifts during the city's bid process, prompting reforms to the host selection process. Canada's men's and women's ice hockey teams both won gold, the first time Canada had won the men's tournament in fifty years.
