It's finally here. The long-awaited winter Olympics 2010 springs into life in Canada today, with events being held in Vancouver and Whistler. Two whole weeks of snow-sporting prowess. We can't wait for all the action to unfurl...
The massive opening ceremony is due to take place today at 6pm West - coast Canadian time (2am Sat morning for us!) There's a huge amount of work involved in any Olympic ceremony such as this but the Canadians are proud to be hosting the event. This insider's video gives us the lowdown from behind the scenes and proves just how honoured the Canadians truly are:
There is a huge amount planned for the first weekend, with first rounds in the figure skating, biathlon, ice-hockey, luge, ski-jumping, freestyle-skiing and the men's downhill alpine skiing events all kicking things off tomorrow.
Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for updates on Tignes-Spirit.com throughout the Games as we'll be following all the events closely and making sure we keep you in the picture!
