Soviet Union set the record at 13 in 1976, and Norway tied that record in 2002. Canada can tie break that record in 2010, sitting currently at 12 gold medals, with the opportunity to win three more before tomorrow's closing ceremony. http://www.torontosun.com/sports/vancouver2010/news/2010/02/27/13053721-qmi.html Feb 27 10, 5:36 PM

As mentioned in another question, far more gold medals are won at the Summer Olympic Games. In 1984 the U.S. won 83 gold medals, beating the 80 gold medals won by the Soviet Union at the 1980 Moscow Olympics (helped by another boycott). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Summer_Olympics_medal_table Feb 28 10, 12:19 AM
