Interesting facts and figures about the Vancouver Winter Olympics which finished on Sunday.
Own the Olympics
Canada's 'Own the Podium' campaign paid dividends. Their table-topping 14 gold medals set a new Olympic record for the highest number won in a single Games.
Switched on
Canada's men's Olympic ice hockey 5-3 group defeat to the United States became the most-watched sports programme in Canadian history with 10.6 million viewers — over a third of the country's population.
Olympic first
Continuing the TV trend, Vancouver's opening ceremony, the first to be held indoors, was the most-watched television event ever in Canada with an average of 13.3 million viewers.
Medal breakers
The United States set a new record for the highest total of medals won at a single Olympic Winter Games with 37. Germany had set 36 at Salt Lake City in 2002.
Norway's 100th

Oh yes for Ohno
American Apolo Anton Ohno became his country's most decorated Winter Olympian at the Vancouver Games, surpassing speedskater Bonnie Blair. The bandana-clad short track skater is also the sport's most successful athlete with eight medals.
Finnish flash
Finland's Teemu Selanne became the all-time leading scorer in Olympic ice hockey at the Vancouver Games. The 39-year-old broke the record in a group game with Germany and was handed the puck as a memento. He has 20 goals and 17 assists during Olympic competition.
Dutch gold
Nicolien Sauerbreij's gold medal in the women's snowboarding parallel giant slalom handed the Netherlands a first Winter Olympics gold outside speedskating and figure skating. It also marked her country's 100th gold medal in Summer and Winter Games.
Canadian curse
Freestyle skier Alexandre Bilodeau became the first Canadian to win Olympic Gold at home with victory in the men's moguls, breaking a curse that had plagued both of their previous Games staged in Montreal (Summer 1976) and Calgary (Winter 1988).
Steady Germans
Germany were the only nation to win a medal in every day of competition at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
