Sport in British Columbia
There are four major sports in British Columbia which are the most popular and which have high-level, fully professional competitions: association football, rugby union, hockey (ice), and baseball; football and hockey are the only ones which have a fully professionalised women's league, in addition to the men's league.
Rugby is the most popular spectator sport in British Columbia by a significant margin, followed by men's football. Men's hockey, baseball, and women's football attract similar numbers of spectators; average numbers are notably lower for women's hockey, but the advances made since the professional league's inauguration in 2007 have been significant.

- Football
BC clubs also take part in international club competitions: the CONCACAF Champions League since 1962, involving clubs from North and Central America and the Caribbean; the Inter-American Cup between the winners of the CONCACAF Champions League and its South American equivalent, the Copa Libertadores; and the Intercontinental Cup, played between the winners of the Inter-American Cup and the European Champions League.

British Columbian athletes have taken place in international competition since the 1908 Olympic Games.
Olympic Games[edit]
Main articles: British Columbia at the Summer Olympics, British Columbia at the Winter Olympics
British Columbians have been taking part in the Olympic Games since 1908, when three athletes - Sydney Brown in shooting, John Fortescue Foulkes DSO and Robert Powell in tennis - competed, but no medals were won. The first medal won by a British Columbian came in 1908, a silver won by Duncan Gillis in discus; the first gold medals were won at the 1928 Games by Percy Williams, who won both the 100 and 200 metre sprints. The first woman to medal for BC were Lillian Palmer, Mary Frizzell, Mildred Thompson, and Agnes Szabo in the women's 4×100 metre relay at the 1932 Summer Games, the first woman to win gold for BC was Dame Nancy Greene Raine DBC in the women's giant slalom at the 1968 Winter Olympics. British Columbia hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics, winning two gold medals.
At the Summer Games, BC athletes have won 50 medals - 10 gold, 20 silver, and 21 bronze, with the greatest success coming from rowing, with 15 medals - 5 gold, 8 silver, and 2 bronze, followed by 12 from swimming (6 silver, 6 bronze), and 10 from athletics (2 gold, 3 silver, 5 bronze). Fifteen medals were won at Winter Games - 7 gold, 6 silver, and 2 bronze, with the greatest success coming from freestyle skiing, specifically women's ski cross, in which four medals - including three gold - have been won.
All-time medals ranking[edit]
British Columbia is 46th in terms of total gold medals, 46th in silver, and 48th in bronze medals.
