Canada–United States sports rivalries : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canada–United States sports rivalries
Because of their proximity and similar sporting cultures, Canada and United States are frequent rivals in a wide variety of international sports. == Overall rivalry and the Olympic Games == For both countries, the Soviet Union was often the most hated rival in most international competeitions before 1991. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, the two neighbouring countries have been heated rivals, especially in winter sports where the talent pools of the two countries are more evenly matched. In summer sports the United States's larger population and longer season give a tremendous advantage, and its main rival at the Summer Olympics is now China. In the run-up to the 1998 Winter Olympics, ''Los Angeles Times'' columnist Mike Penner named Canada the United States' most important rival, especially in hockey. and ''USA Today'' ran the headline "Cold War now means Canada", with Canadian columnist Terry Jones reporting that the Canadian Olympic team approved of the comments and shared the news clippings around the athlete's village in Nagano.
