Canada competed at the2000 Summer Olympics inSydney, Australia, held from 15 September to 1 October 2000. 294 competitors, 150 men, and 144 women, took part in 175 events in 29 sports.[1]
The final days of the Olympics for Canada were somewhat overshadowed by thedeath ofPierre Trudeau, the country's 15th prime minister. When the closing ceremonies took place, he waslying in state, allowing Canadians to travel to Ottawa to pay their respects.
Olympic scholarBob Barney felt that Canada needed to specialize in the Olympics, rather than trying to be compete at too many sports. He also that felt that Canada's medal count at the 2000 Summer Olympics, was due to a lack of government funding, and poor planning to develop high performance athletes.[2]

Near the end of the Summer Olympics, on 28 September, Canadian athletes learned that former prime minister (from 1968 to 1984),Pierre Trudeau, had died. Owing to time difference, it was 29 September in Sydney.
Juan Antonio Samaranch, presiding over his last Olympics asIOC president, ordered theCanadian flag at athletes' village lowered to half-staff on orders from Canadian Foreign Affairs MinisterLloyd Axworthy. As the flag was lowered, Canadian athletes paid tribute to Trudeau. During medal ceremonies, whenever the Canadian flag flew, it was flown at half-mast, also on orders from Samaranch and Axworthy. They both ordered the Canadian flag flown at half-staff for the remainder of the Olympics, as the state funeral didn't take place until 3 October.
