Venues for Vancouver 2010 Completed

by Sasha Manuel on December 23rd, 2007

Construction has been completed on all three of the Whistler Olympic and Paralympic competition venues. Thanks to the efforts of a 2,500-strong workforce recruited from across British Columbia and Canada, athletes will be able to train at these Olympic venues more than two years before the Vancouver 2010 Games begin. The venues in Whistler, which will host 46 Olympic medal events and 62 Paralympic medal events, will offer a legacy for high performance and recreational use, both before and long after the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

You can take note on the events that will take place on the following venues:

Whistler Olympic Park

Events:
Biathlon
Cross-country skiing
Nordic combined
Ski jumping

Whistler Sliding Centre

Luge
Skeleton
