Winter Olympics Vancouver























































In 2008 and 2009 the VANOC will test its operational readiness with a full series of Sport Events in order to test facilities, personnel and operations, including both competition and non-competition events. Sport Events will provide VANOC the opportunity to test various departments and collaborate with the International Sport Federations, while offering the Canadian public a chance to learn more about the winter sport disciplines that will be showcased at the 2010 Winter Games - and many of the atheletes who will likely compete in 2010.
