Winter Olympics Cool Facts
Ok, I just wanted to post to give you some QUICKIES about the Vancouver games. Just facts.
- Vancouver is the most populated city ever to host the Winter Olympic Games
- It’s the first time EVER (and this goes for the Summer Olympics) when the opening ceremony will be held INDOORS. It’s going to be held at the BC Place Stadium, with a capacity of almost 60 000 places.
- 86 different sports will be played in total, including the classics (alpine skiing, snowboarding, skating, bob sledge, ice hockey, figure skating, curling, ski jumping etc.)
- 399 paralympic medals and 615 Olympic medals will be awarded. Each and every one of them has a unique design.
At the end, here’s the Olympic Games’ theme song. It’s called “One Dream” and it’s sung by Sarah McLachlan. Enjoy!
