2. How Olympics came to Vancouver

announce where the 2010 Olympics were going to be. The final three ( There
were 8 to start with) were Vancouver and Whistler (Canada), Pyeongchang
(South Korea) or Prague (Czech Republic). It was given to Vancouver and
Whistler, and people there started celebrating.

4. The Olympic Torch Relay
There is one very amazing thing that made this Olympics so great.
That was how patriotic Canadians were. What made Canadians so
patriotic was how the Olympic torch went all across Canada. It made
all Canadians become a part of the Olympic games. The Torch
made an amazing journey over 1,000 communities across Canada
starting in Victoria and ending in Vancouver.
This video is about the
Torch going across
Canada.
5. The lead up problems
There were many problems before the games, some of the many
problems were:
• Almost 30,000 spectators got turned away from Cypress to view the
sports up there because the standing room was unsafe because of
too much water.
• It was raining, not snowing at Cypress Mountain so they had to
import snow from other mountains
• Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died after crashing at the Whistler
bobsled track just before the opening ceremonies
• During the opening ceremonies one of the four pillars in the Olympic
cauldron failed to rise
• This one isn’t really a problem for the Olympics but for Canadian
fans, Canada had never won a gold medal at the Olympics in
Canada.

7. The Opening Ceromonies
The opening ceremonies in the Vancouver
2010 games were amazing. Many people
said the ceremonies would be one of the
worst ceremonies ever, but I don’t agree
8. The Olympics weren’t starting out well for Canadians or athletes of Canada. Heavy
rain continued on Cypress and was making the events miserable. In the first day no
Canadian had got gold. Many fans thought the curse on Canadians Olympians at
home will continue ( a Canadian Olympic competitor has never won a gold on home
soil). Jennifer Heal, didn’t even succeed to win gold in the Olympics and she was
said to be Canada’s 2nd biggest chance to win gold beside the Canadian hockey
team. But it all turned around for Canadian’s when something amazing happened the
next day of the Olympics.

winning many gold medals. In total

brave. Two days before the Figure Skating competition her
mother died in Vancouver General Hospital from a heart
attack. But Joannie Rochette didn’t take it like most people
would. She was sad, but instead of sitting around being sad
she competed in the Figure Skating Competition.
