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 February 12-28, 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.
Following Olympic tradition, then Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan received the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympic in Turin, Italy. The flag was raised on February 28, 2006, in a special ceremony, and will be on display at Vancouver City Hall until the Olympic opening ceremony. The event will be officially opened by Governor General Michelle Jean. (It`s from Sina News)
Although I did not watch the 2010 Winter Olympics, I still can remember the last Olympic Games in Beijing. It was perfect, and China got the No.1 of the Gold medal. I think the Winter Olympics is little bit different with Olympic Games, but they both have the sportsmanship and some international or peaceful things. It is the most important symbolize of Olympics.
