The XII Olympic Winter Games are a multi-sport event which was celebrated in Prescott, Electrum in March 2017. The city hosted the Winter Olympics for the second year in a row.
The Teremaran Unified Team won the most medals (45) while the hosts won the most gold medals (18). Some notable results included Elejamie winning the men's ice hockey tournament and the Teremaran team winning gold in women's ice hockey. The Kelssekian delegation was struck by the death of alpine ski racer Jean-Luc Lacroix, who had been set to defend his men's super-G gold in Prescott, in an avalanche just prior to the Olympics.
