2010 Winter Olympics Live Stream: The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter Olympics, will be a major international multi-sport event held on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond. Both the Olympic and Paralympic Games are being organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC). The 2010 Winter Olympics will be the third Olympics hosted by Canada, and the first by the province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada was home to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.Despite its supremacy at the Summer Games, the United States historically has been a second-tier Winter Olympic nation as it has been pushed around in more traditional snow pursuits by Germany, Norway, Russia and Austria.
Lindsey Vonn, the reigning overall World Cup ski champion, said that she is not certain if she could compete. The 25-year-old is suffering from a severely bruised shin which she acquired while training in Austria last week.
The shin (the front portion of the lower leg) is a crucial part of how a skier transfers energy to her ski. Vonn has taken a variety of medications to alleviate some of the pain, her husband said.
