==Worldwide==
Canada competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from February 7 to 23, 2014. Canadians competed in every discipline except Nordic combined.


===Latin America===
The youngest athlete in Canada's delegation was figure skater Gabrielle Daleman, who turned 16 in January, while curler Jennifer Jones was the oldest athlete at 39.[5]
Reggaeton is very popular in Latin American countries such as [[Panama]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Cuba]], [[Mexico]], [[Colombia]], [[Costa Rica]] and [[Venezuela]]. Reggaeton has become staple music in many parties and events, complementing the common mix of merengue, salsa and electronic music, and has paved a huge fan base.


====Panama====
Canada finished these Olympics with 10 gold medals and 25 overall (ranking 3rd and 4th respectively), which is the second most successful Canadian performance ever, exceeded only by the achievements at the home Olympics in Vancouver in 2010.
{{Main|Panamanian Reggaetón}}
Spanish reggae developed as a result of Jamaican immigration to Panama as a result of the Panama Canal. Eventually, many of these Jamaicans had intentions to go back to Jamaica, but many of them ended up staying, and eventually assimilated and became part of the culture.<ref name="archive1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20071012135224/http://www.askmen.com/toys/special_feature_100/102b_special_feature.html 5 ]</ref> Meanwhile, in the 1970s, Panamanians like [[El General]] began taking reggae songs and beats and singing over them with Spanish lyrics.<ref name="archive1"/> They also sped up reggae beats, and added Hispanic and Latino elements to them. The music continued to grow throughout the 1980s, with many stars developing in Panama. El General has been widely regarded as the "Godfather of Reggae en Español" due to many of his songs.<ref>[http://hispanicprwire.com/news.php?l=in&cha=13&id=4164 El General, Collaborates with Liza Quin]</ref> El General stepped down in 2004 from the music industry, and since then has been working to help underprivileged Panamanian children.<ref>[http://www.it.real.com/music/artist/El_General/ Real.com – El General Bio]</ref>


====Puerto Rico====
Contents [hide]
Arguably but inevitably, reggaeton has become known through [[Puerto Rico]] more than any other country; this has given Puerto Rico hegemonic status over reggaeton, even though a process of decentralization has opened ways for many artists in different Caribbean and Latin American countries to produce their own local reggaeton scenes.<ref>Rivera, Raquel Z., Wayne Marshall, and Deborah Pacini Hernandez, eds. Reggaeton. Durham NC: Duke University Press, 2009.</ref> Despite the growing popularity of reggaeton in Latin America many of the genre's artists and new talents still come from Puerto Rico; much in the same fashion that New York was considered hip hop's Mecca in the 1980s. Reggaeton derives from rhythms related to dancehall, soca and the tresillo clave from son and salsa: the post-salsa music youth generation of the '90s in Puerto Rico. Before reggaeton exploded in the mid-nineties, young street artists, heavily influenced by [[East Coast hip hop]] and turntablism, rapped over cassette tracks. Alongside this early hip hop influenced reggae-rap, evolved the Panamanian reggae style which eventually fused into reggaeton.

History[edit]
On Day 1 of the Games, three athletes won the nation's first medals. Canada's first medalist was Mark McMorris, who won a bronze in the slopestyle snowboarding event. Justine Dufour-Lapointe won the first gold medal in freestyle skiing (women's moguls) and her sister, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, finished in second place in the same event, earning the country's first silver medal.


Despite Puerto Rico's struggling economy, reggaeton stars have been able to achieve success not only as global stars but as local entrepreneurs; this has been evidenced in industry labels such as DJ Nelson's Flow Music, Daddy Yankee's El Cartel Records, and Wisín and Yandel's WY Records. Through production models derived from U.S. hip hop artists and based in grassroots movements, reggaeton has been an artistic vehicle gaining worldwide popularity, a far cry from its previous reputation as an infamous underground product of urban youth.<ref>{{cite web| author=Frances Negrón-Muntaner and Raquel Z.

At 19 years 321 days, Justine Dufour-Lapointe became the youngest freestyle skiing Olympic gold medalist. Justine and Chloé, became the third pair of sisters to finish 1-2 in an event at the Winter Games. Their elder sister, Maxime, finished 12th in the same event. It was the fifth time three siblings have competed at the same event at the Winter Games.[6][7]


====Cuba====
On February 10, Alexandre Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medalist to defend his Olympic title, and first repeat gold medalist, winning the men's moguls.[8] He became the first Canadian to defend their Olympic gold since Catriona Le May Doan repeated her gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.[9] Le May Doan had been the first Canadian to repeat gold,[10] Bilodeau becoming the second to do so, and the first man.
Cubatón is a term used sometimes to denominate Cuban reggaeton and at other times, a uniquely Cuban fusion of reggaeton with other Cuban musical styles. In Cuba (and some other Latin American countries), where ideas and language are an integral part of the appreciation of music, there is an alleged critical backlash against the increasing popularity of reggaeton. This rift supposedly exists often among members of the Cuban Hip Hop community. According to British music lecturer Geoff Baker, many critics claim that the music's lyrics do not explore any subjects past "sex, dancing, and the singer himself, in various combinations." Baker also believes that because reggaeton has an allegiance to so many Caribbean and Latin American countries, it overshadows distinctly Cuban forms and variations of music, such as Cuban Hip Hop, even though Hip Hop is ultimately a North American musical genre.<ref>Baker, Jeff. 2008. "The Politics of Dancing: Reggaetón and Rap in Havana, Cuba." Royal Holloway, University of London</ref> Popular cubatón artists include [[Eddy K]], [[Gente de Zona]], and [[Osmani García]]. In 2011 the Cuban state denounced reggaeton as degenerate, directed reduced "low-profile" airplay of the genre (but did not ban it entirely) and banned the megahit ''Chupi Chupi'' by Osmani García, characterizing its description of sex as "the sort which a prostitute would carry out".<ref>[http://www.elcomercio.com/entretenimiento/Cuba-quiere-difusion-perfil-reggaeton_0_587341395.html "Cuba quiere difusión de "muy bajo perfil" para reggaeton", ''El Comercio'' (Ecuador), 8 noviembre 2011]</ref><ref>[http://www.elnuevoherald.com/2011/11/23/1071280/partido-ataca-vulgaridad-en-la.html "Partido ataca vulgaridad en la música cubana", ''El Nuevo Herald'' (Miami), November 24, 2011]</ref><ref>[http://globalvoicesonline.org/2011/12/07/cuba-reggaeton-hit-chupi-chupi-denounced-by-authorities/ "Cuba: Reggaeton Hit ‘Chupi Chupi' Denounced by Authorities", ''Global Voices'', 7 December 2011]</ref><ref name=nd>[http://lanaciondominicana.com/ver_noticia.php?id_noticia=33997&sesion_periodico=29 "Osmani García “La Voz” llega el lunes a Miami", ''La Nación Dominicana'', March 23, 2012]</ref><ref>[http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/2011/11/23/cultura/artic01.html "La vulgaridad en nuestra música: ¿una elección del "pueblo cubano?", ''Granma'', 23 noviembre 2011]</ref> In December 2012, the Cuban government officially banned sexually explicit reggaeton songs and music videos from radio and television.<ref>[http://popcrush.com/cuban-government-censor-reggaeton-sexually-explicit/ "Cuban Government to Censor Reggaeton For Being "Sexually Explict", ''Pop Crush'', December 7, 2012]</ref><ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/News/cuba-bans-reggaeton-sexually-explicit-songs/story?id=17888666#.UMJho3ewWSq "Cuban Government Censors Reggaeton and "Sexually Explicit" Songs", ''ABC News'', December 6, 2012]</ref>


===United States===
Medalists[edit]
With the help of [[N.O.R.E.]] (also known as Noreaga), a New York-based rapper, and his producing of [[Nina Sky]]'s 2004 hit "[[Oye Mi Canto]]", which featured prominent reggaeton artists [[Tego Calderón]] and [[Daddy Yankee]], reggaeton quickly gained popularity in the US.<ref name="Marshall, Wayne 2006">Marshall, Wayne. "The Rise of Reggaeton". [Boston Phoenix], 19 January 2006.</ref> Soon after, Daddy Yankee caught the attention of many big names in hip hop with his song "[[Gasolina]]", propelling the style across the country.<ref name="Marshall, Wayne 2006"/> Also in 2004, [[XM Radio]] launched a channel called [[Fuego (XM)]], which played exclusively reggaeton music. However, XM Radio removed the channel in December 2007 from home and car receivers, but can still be streamed off the XM Satellite Radio Website. The genre has also provided the foundation and basis for a modern Latin-American commercial radio phenomenon known as [[Hurban]],<ref name="Marshall, Wayne 2006"/> a combination of the terms Hispanic and Urban that is used to evoke the musical influences of hip hop and Latin American music. Reggaeton formed from hip hop and reggae, and has helped Latin-Americans contribute to the urban American culture while still keeping many aspects of their Hispanic heritage. The music relates to many of the socio-economic issues happening in America including gender and race which highly connects to hip hop in America today.<ref name="Marshall, Wayne 2006"/>

===Europe===

Reggaeton has not become as popular in Europe as in Latin America. However, it has a great appeal to Latin American immigrants, especially in [[Spain]],.<ref>[http://www.reggaeton.co.uk/X/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=111&Itemid=37 Reggaeton in Spain]</ref> A Spanish concept called ''"La Canción del Verano"'' (''The Summer Song''), under which a particular song or two define the mood for the season and are regarded unofficially as such by Spanish media, served as the basis for the appearance popularity of reggaeton songs such as Panamanian rapper [[Lorna (rapper)|Lorna]]'s "[[Papi chulo... (te traigo el mmmm...)|Papi Chulo (Te Traigo el Mmm)]]" in 2003, "Baila Morena" by [[Héctor & Tito]] and [[Daddy Yankee]]'s "[[Gasolina]]" in 2005.

Reggaeton (/ˌrɛɡˈtn/ or UK: /rɛɡˈtɒn/, Spanish: reguetón [reɣeˈton]) is a music genre which has its roots in Latin and Caribbean music.[1] Its sound derives from the Reggae en Español from Panama.[2][3][4][5] The genre was invented, shaped and made known in Puerto Rico where it got its name;[6] most of its current artists are also from Puerto Rico.[7][8][9] After its mainstream exposure in 2004, it spread to North American, European, Asian and African audiences.[10]

Reggaeton blends musical influences of Jamaican dancehall and Trinidadian soca with those of Latin America, such as salsa, bomba, Latin American hip hop, and electronica. Vocals include rapping and singing, typically in Spanish. Lyrics tend to be derived from hip hop.

While it takes influences from hip hop and Jamaican dancehall, reggaeton is not precisely the Hispanic or Latin American version of either of these genres; reggaeton has its own specific beat and rhythm,[11] whereas Latin hip hop is simply hip hop recorded by artists of Latino descent. The specific "riddim" that characterizes reggaeton is referred to as "Dem Bow".[10][12] The name "Dem Bow" is taken from the dancehall song by Shabba Ranks that first popularized the beat in the early 1990s, and appears on his album Just Reality.

The ice hockey competitions of the 2014 Winter Olympics were played at two venues, located 300 meters from each other, within the Olympic Park in Sochi, Russia. The Bolshoy Ice Dome, which seats 12,000, resembles a Fabergé egg.[1] The Shayba Arena, seating 7,000, is a moveable structure that will be used after the games in another Russian city.[2] Both venues are international sized (60 meters by 30 meters).[3]

Twelve teams competed in the men's tournament and eight teams in the women's. The tournaments began 8 February 2014. The women's concluded on 20 February and the men's on 23 February.

Canada went undefeated throughout both the men and women's tournaments and repeated as gold medalists, after winning both tournaments on home soil in Vancouver.

The ice hockey competitions of the 2014 Winter Olympics were played at two venues, located 300 meters from each other, within the Olympic Park in Sochi, Russia. The Bolshoy Ice Dome, which seats 12,000, resembles a Fabergé egg.[1] The Shayba Arena, seating 7,000, is a moveable structure that will be used after the games in another Russian city.[2] Both venues are international sized (60 meters by 30 meters).[3]

Twelve teams competed in the men's tournament and eight teams in the women's. The tournaments began 8 February 2014. The women's concluded on 20 February and the men's on 23 February.

Canada went undefeated throughout both the men and women's tournaments and repeated as gold medalists, after winning both tournaments on home soil in Vancouver.

Canada competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from February 7 to 23, 2014. Canadians competed in every discipline except Nordic combined.

The youngest athlete in Canada's delegation was figure skater Gabrielle Daleman, who turned 16 in January, while curler Jennifer Jones was the oldest athlete at 39.[5]

Canada finished these Olympics with 10 gold medals and 25 overall (ranking 3rd and 4th respectively), which is the second most successful Canadian performance ever, exceeded only by the achievements at the home Olympics in Vancouver in 2010.

Canada's first medalist was Mark McMorris, who won a bronze in the slopestyle snowboarding event. Justine Dufour-Lapointe won the first gold medal in freestyle skiing (women's moguls) and her sister, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, finished in second place in the same event, earning the country's first silver medal.

At 19 years 321 days, Justine Dufour-Lapointe became the youngest freestyle skiing Olympic gold medalist. Justine and Chloé, became the third pair of sisters to finish 1-2 in an event at the Winter Games. Their elder sister, Maxime, finished 12th in the same event. It was the fifth time three siblings have competed at the same event at the Winter Games.[6][7]

On February 10, Alexandre Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medalist to defend his Olympic title, and first repeat gold medalist, winning the men's moguls.[8] He became the first Canadian to defend their Olympic gold since Catriona Le May Doan repeated her gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.[9] Le May Doan had been the first Canadian to repeat gold,[10] Bilodeau becoming the second to do so, and the first man.

Canada's first medalist was Mark McMorris, who won a bronze in the slopestyle snowboarding event. Justine Dufour-Lapointe won the first gold medal in freestyle skiing (women's moguls) and her sister, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, finished in second place in the same event, earning the country's first silver medal.

At 19 years 321 days, Justine Dufour-Lapointe became the youngest freestyle skiing Olympic gold medalist. Justine and Chloé, became the third pair of sisters to finish 1-2 in an event at the Winter Games. Their elder sister, Maxime, finished 12th in the same event. It was the fifth time three siblings have competed at the same event at the Winter Games.[6][7]

On February 10, Alexandre Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medalist to defend his Olympic title, and first repeat gold medalist, winning the men's moguls.[8] He became the first Canadian to defend their Olympic gold since Catriona Le May Doan repeated her gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.[9] Le May Doan had been the first Canadian to repeat gold,[10] Bilodeau becoming the second to do so, and the first man.

Dance

Sandungueo is a dance associated with reggaeton music that emerged in the mid 2000s in Puerto Rico. It is a dance that focuses on grinding, with one partner facing the back of the other (usually male behind female).[13] This is also known as daggering or "grinding" or "twerking" in the United States of America.[14]

Worldwide

Latin America

Reggaeton is very popular in Latin American countries such as Panama, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela. Reggaeton has become staple music in many parties and events, complementing the common mix of merengue, salsa and electronic music, and has paved a huge fan base.

Panama

Spanish reggae developed as a result of Jamaican immigration to Panama as a result of the Panama Canal. Eventually, many of these Jamaicans had intentions to go back to Jamaica, but many of them ended up staying, and eventually assimilated and became part of the culture.[15] Meanwhile, in the 1970s, Panamanians like El General began taking reggae songs and beats and singing over them with Spanish lyrics.[15] They also sped up reggae beats, and added Hispanic and Latino elements to them. The music continued to grow throughout the 1980s, with many stars developing in Panama. El General has been widely regarded as the "Godfather of Reggae en Español" due to many of his songs.[16] El General stepped down in 2004 from the music industry, and since then has been working to help underprivileged Panamanian children.[17]

Puerto Rico

Arguably but inevitably, reggaeton has become known through Puerto Rico more than any other country; this has given Puerto Rico hegemonic status over reggaeton, even though a process of decentralization has opened ways for many artists in different Caribbean and Latin American countries to produce their own local reggaeton scenes.[18] Despite the growing popularity of reggaeton in Latin America many of the genre's artists and new talents still come from Puerto Rico; much in the same fashion that New York was considered hip hop's Mecca in the 1980s. Reggaeton derives from rhythms related to dancehall, soca and the tresillo clave from son and salsa: the post-salsa music youth generation of the '90s in Puerto Rico. Before reggaeton exploded in the mid-nineties, young street artists, heavily influenced by East Coast hip hop and turntablism, rapped over cassette tracks. Alongside this early hip hop influenced reggae-rap, evolved the Panamanian reggae style which eventually fused into reggaeton.

Despite Puerto Rico's struggling economy, reggaeton stars have been able to achieve success not only as global stars but as local entrepreneurs; this has been evidenced in industry labels such as DJ Nelson's Flow Music, Daddy Yankee's El Cartel Records, and Wisín and Yandel's WY Records. Through production models derived from U.S. hip hop artists and based in grassroots movements, reggaeton has been an artistic vehicle gaining worldwide popularity, a far cry from its previous reputation as an infamous underground product of urban youth.[19]

Cuba

Cubatón is a term used sometimes to denominate Cuban reggaeton and at other times, a uniquely Cuban fusion of reggaeton with other Cuban musical styles. In Cuba (and some other Latin American countries), where ideas and language are an integral part of the appreciation of music, there is an alleged critical backlash against the increasing popularity of reggaeton. This rift supposedly exists often among members of the Cuban Hip Hop community. According to British music lecturer Geoff Baker, many critics claim that the music's lyrics do not explore any subjects past "sex, dancing, and the singer himself, in various combinations." Baker also believes that because reggaeton has an allegiance to so many Caribbean and Latin American countries, it overshadows distinctly Cuban forms and variations of music, such as Cuban Hip Hop, even though Hip Hop is ultimately a North American musical genre.[20] Popular cubatón artists include Eddy K, Gente de Zona, and Osmani García. In 2011 the Cuban state denounced reggaeton as degenerate, directed reduced "low-profile" airplay of the genre (but did not ban it entirely) and banned the megahit Chupi Chupi by Osmani García, characterizing its description of sex as "the sort which a prostitute would carry out".[21][22][23][24][25] In December 2012, the Cuban government officially banned sexually explicit reggaeton songs and music videos from radio and television.[26][27]

United States

With the help of N.O.R.E. (also known as Noreaga), a New York-based rapper, and his producing of Nina Sky's 2004 hit "Oye Mi Canto", which featured prominent reggaeton artists Tego Calderón and Daddy Yankee, reggaeton quickly gained popularity in the US.[28] Soon after, Daddy Yankee caught the attention of many big names in hip hop with his song "Gasolina", propelling the style across the country.[28] Also in 2004, XM Radio launched a channel called Fuego (XM), which played exclusively reggaeton music. However, XM Radio removed the channel in December 2007 from home and car receivers, but can still be streamed off the XM Satellite Radio Website. The genre has also provided the foundation and basis for a modern Latin-American commercial radio phenomenon known as Hurban,[28] a combination of the terms Hispanic and Urban that is used to evoke the musical influences of hip hop and Latin American music. Reggaeton formed from hip hop and reggae, and has helped Latin-Americans contribute to the urban American culture while still keeping many aspects of their Hispanic heritage. The music relates to many of the socio-economic issues happening in America including gender and race which highly connects to hip hop in America today.[28]

Europe

Reggaeton has not become as popular in Europe as in Latin America. However, it has a great appeal to Latin American immigrants, especially in Spain,.[29] A Spanish concept called "La Canción del Verano" (The Summer Song), under which a particular song or two define the mood for the season and are regarded unofficially as such by Spanish media, served as the basis for the appearance popularity of reggaeton songs such as Panamanian rapper Lorna's "Papi Chulo (Te Traigo el Mmm)" in 2003, "Baila Morena" by Héctor & Tito and Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina" in 2005.
