Vancouver+2010

__**The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver**__
The 2010 winter Olympics will take place in Vanacouver from February 12 through February 28. This is the time that the greatest hockey players in the world will be able to represent their countries in the hope of attaining the ultimate prize; an Olympic gold medal. The pre-tournament favourites are Canada with Russia being a close second.

This is the second time Canada has hosted the winter Olympics, the first time being in Calgary, 1986. The previous winter Olympics took place in Torino, Italy. These games saw Sweden come away with the gold medal. However, the fact that the games are taking place in Canada means that the Canadian team will have amazing support. This support, combined with the amazing talent the Canadian team possesses will give them a huge edge over the competition. Anything less than a gold medal will be considered a failure for the Canadian Olympic team.
