The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter Olympics, will be a major international multi-sport event held on 12th February To 28th February 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond. Both the Olympic and Paralympic Games are being organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC).
The 2010 Winter Olympics will be the third Olympics hosted by Canada, and the first by the province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada was home to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.
Vancouver 2010 is a video game modeled after the Olympic Games in Vancouver. It was released on 12th January 2010 to promote the upcoming Olympics Games.
As has become an Olympic tradition, the 2010 Winter Olympics will begin with an elaborate opening ceremony. The ceremony will be held on February 12, 2010, at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia and will feature, among other events and exhibits, the lighting of the Olympic cauldron. The choreographer for the opening ceremonies is Jean Grand-Maitre, who is the artistic director of the Alberta Ballet.
The ceremonies begin at 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EST) and will be broadcast live on NBC (CTV in Canada), as well as many other networks across the world. Both NBC and CTV will offer live online streaming of the opening ceremonies and most other Olympic events via their official websites.
