Vancouver's Turn to Step into the Spotlight

Members of the IOC have just finished up there seventh visit to Vancouver and have confirmed their belief that VANOC is well on there way to hosting a spectacular Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2010.

Commenting on the visit, IOC Coordination Commission Chairman René Fasel said, “With the Beijing Games now over, it is Vancouver 2010’s turn to step into the spotlight and I am confident that Vancouver 2010 can also raise the bar for the Olympic Winter Games. Our Canadian friends learned many important lessons during their stay in Beijing as part of the IOC’s Observer’s Programme, and this can be seen in their planning, which is being fine-tuned as VANOC moves into its operational phase.”
