Winter Olympics 2010 Ends, Paralympics 2010 Begins, Next Olympics in 2012 and 2014

Jolie Bookspan, M.Ed, PhD, FAWM
The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada ends Feb 28th, 2010. Then the (10th or X) Paralympic Winter Games run March 12 to March 21, 2010.

The 2010 Paralympic Torch Relay begins in Ottawa, Ontario on March 3. Unlike the Olympic flame, the Paralympic flame has no traditional starting place. Approximately 600 torchbearers will carry the Paralympic Flame until reaching the 2010 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony on March 12 at the BC Place Stadium, in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The 2010 games are the second time Canada hosts the Paralympic Games.

Thirty nations will compete in five sports:
  1. Alpine skiing
  2. Biathlon
  3. Cross-country skiing
  4. Wheelchair curling
  5. Sledge hockey

The next Winter Olympics will be the 2014, XXII (twenty-second) Olympic Games in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The next Summer Olympic games will be the 2012 Games in London. The International Olympic Committee approved adding golf, rugby, and women's boxing for the 2012 program. Karate did not make the vote to be in the Olympic games.
