1964 Olympics

At the 1964 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria, one ice hockey event was held: men's ice hockey. This tournament was also counted as IIHF World Championship and IIHF European Championship. Games were held at the Olympiahalle Innsbruck.
==Medalists==
Medal 	Team
Gold 	Soviet Union
Silver	Sweden
Bronze	Czechoslovakia¹
¹The tie-breaking procedures for the Olympics were changed after the competition. By the previous rules (goal difference between teams involved in the medal round), Canada was the bronze medal winner, but just before the medal ceremony this was changed, and Czechoslovakia won bronze by new rules (goal difference in all games of the Olympics). This tournament also served as the World Championships and the European Championships for 1964. 
In 2005, the International Ice Hockey Federation attempted to alter the results of World Championship, awarding Canadians a bronze medal, but then it changed its mind, and in September 2005 the IIHF finally rejected Canada's appeal to be awarded 3rd place.
