the calgary games were at the time one of the most expensive olympics ever held, but the organizing committee turned record television and sponsorship revenue into a net surplus that was used to maintain the facilities built for the olympics and develop the calgary region into the heart of canada's elite winter sports program. the five purpose-built venues continue to be used in their original functions, and have helped the country develop into one of the top nations in winter olympic competition; canada more than quintupled the five medals it won in calgary at the 2010 games, the next winter olympics hosted on canadian soil in vancouver. calgary is the largest city to host the winter olympics; however, the census metropolitan area of greater vancouver could also be considered the largest metropolitan area to host the winter olympics. nonetheless, this title will soon to be turned over to beijing in 2022.
