Canada names 215-athlete team for Beijing Olympics

Team Canada's Director of hockey operations Gina Kingsbury introduces the women's national hockey team lineup for the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Canada will send 215 athletes and 85 coaches to the Beijing Olympics, the Canadian Olympic Committee announced Friday.

The total includes a Canadian record 106 athletes who identify as female.

Approximately 2,900 athletes from 90 countries are expected to compete in the Games, which officially start Feb. 4 – though competition begins on Feb. 2.

Sixteen-year-old snowboarder Brooke D’Hondt of Calgary is the youngest Canadian athlete, while 47-year-old curler Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg is the oldest.

Five sets of siblings will compete for Canada, while four children of Olympians are on the roster.

Ninety-one athletes return from the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics, while 117 athletes will be making their Winter Games debut.
The team features 45 Olympic medallists.

Ontario leads the way with 60 athletes, three ahead of Quebec.

The COC also announced Friday that five members of its delegation are in COVID-19 protocol in Beijing.
