What started in 1998 as the selection of Vancouver by the Canadian Olympic Committee as it's preferred city, turned in the International Olympic Committee endorsing Vancouver as the host for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in July of 2003, has now reached the final countdown, notably marked by the Olympic Torch Relay.

In less than 105 days Vancouver and Whistler will host the world starting with the lighting of the Olypmic Flame at the Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver at BC Place Stadium with some 60,000+ attendees!
