		In a 2003 IOC vote, the 2010 Winter Olympics were awarded to Vancouver, thus allowing Canada to host its second Winter Olympics as well as being the first for the province of British Columbia.

	Calgary, Canada
		On the occasion of the Winter Olympics in 1988 Calgary showed that today it is more than just an agricultural arena, a chamber of commerce for the Alberta wheat trade or a trans-shipment center for cattle.

		The two-time Olympic speed skating gold medallist recalled yesterday how she felt just weeks out from the most important competition of her life and she is relieved to be retired as the 2006 Games approach.
		CALGARY - As Catriona Le May Doan was carving his niche as one of the finest athletes ever to strap on speed skates, she was also selling vacuum cleaners and waitressing, all the while counting on mom and dad to help with monthly rent bills.
		No wonder, then, that the Olympic gold-medallist is such an ardent backer of the Olympic Oval Athlete Bursary Fund, which on Monday doled out its first batch of six $1,000 stipends to help young athletes who train at the Oval in Calgary.
