The IOC may not have sanctioned these “sports” for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but we suspect they would draw a few more viewers than Olympic team handball!

The 2014 Sochi Olympic Games are in full swing and this Throwback Thursday we’re mourning the lost art of ski ballet. From the late 1960s to 2000, ballet fell under the umbrella of freestyle skiing, along with moguls and aerials.

Canadian speed skater Charles Hamelin added another gold to his collection of Olympic medals after winning the 1,500-meter race on Monday in Sochi. Although Hamelin was trailing in third place with six laps left in the race, he managed to pull ahead to take the lead and be the first to cross the finish line.

The Opening Ceremony for the  Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics are just hours away! Show off your patriotic side and support Canadian athletes by wearing paraphernalia from Hudson’s Bay Olympic Team Collection.
