British Columbia plays a major role in making Canada a dominant force at the Olympic Winter Games.
The province's triumphs reach all the way back to 1968, when skier Nancy Greene won the gold medal in women's giant slalom. Many more victories have since come in sports such as ice dancing, snowboarding, curling and hockey.
With British Columbians now on the medal count in Sochi, we thought we would take a look at the province's triumphs in past Winter Games.
