Néanmoins, il ne faut pas confondre le «Temple olympique de la renommée» qu'administre l'Association de développement olympique de Calgary (CODA), et le «Temple de la renommée olympique du Canada» de l'Association olympique canadienne (AOC). 2, record 1, French, - Temple%20olympique%20de%20la%20renomm%C3%A9e
