Canada :
XXI Olympic Winter Games will be held from February 12 to 28, 2010 in Vancouver, the Canadian province of British Columbia. The competitions will take place in the city of Vancouver itself and the surrounding area on Cypress Mountain and the ski resort of Whistler, located about 115 km from Vancouver. The architectural attraction of these games will probably be the Richmond Olympic Oval which will host the speed skating competitions. In view of ÂŤ green Âť Games, the Whistler venues, whether the Olympic Park or the Sliding Center, have been constructed to integrate as possible in the beautiful nature of the region. Our photographer was able to fly over the main sites and take advantage of international events in various sports to present the most enchanting sites of the next winter games in their best light.
