The 2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter Olympics,were held on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the suburbs of Richmond, West Vancouver and the University Endowment Lands, and in the resort town of Whistler. Approximately 2,600 athletes from 82 nations participated in 86. Both the Olympic and Paralympic Games were being organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC). The 2010 Winter Olympics were the third Olympics hosted by Canada, and the first by the province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.
Following Olympic tradition, the then-current Vancouver mayor, Sam Sullivan, received the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The flag was raised on February 28, 2006, in a special ceremony and was on display at Vancouver City Hall until the Olympic opening ceremony. The event was officially opened by Governor General Michaëlle Jean.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Winter_Olympics

Georgia dead after high-speed crash at Olympics

Nodar Kumaritashvili never had a chance.
He crashed almost head-first into a steel support pole after losing control of his luge at the Olympic Sliding Centre Friday morning.
The scene of the crash was no more than five or six metres from the $105 million centre’s first-aid station and medical personnel responded immediately, but the racer had no chance to survive the impact.
The B.C. Coroners Service, assisted by the RCMP, was on site Friday night conducting an investigation. The track remains closed and it’s not known how long the run will be shut.
Kumaritashvili was travelling a measured 134 km/h at the finish line of the course in his sixth and final practice ..

Curling: Canada wins men's title - and nation's 13th gold

- Canada won their 13th gold medal of the 2010 Winter Games on Saturday when their undefeated men's curlers beat Norway 6-3 to seal their second consecutive Olympic crown.

The result left Canada untouchable in the gold medal count, an impressive achievement for a nation coming into these Games having failed to win a single title on home ground at the 1976 Summer Games and the 1988 Winter showpiece.
In a tight battle, Canada, urged on by a passionate capacity home crowd, kept an iron grip on the final early on and were never behind throughout.
