Golden Summers: Canada's Gold Medal Athletes 1984-2000
Alex Baumann was best, stalwart Sylvie Frechette showed grace and Donovan Bailey left his rivals in the dust. From 1984 to 2000, CBC Radio and Television followed Canadian athletes chasing Olympic gold. They were the fastest and the strongest and they had Canadians from coast to coast smiling a little wider and cheering a little louder. (For a history of Canada's Olympic winners from 1948 to 1968, please consult our Gold Medal Athletes topic.)
