Nearly 100 nations from around the world have qualified at least one athlete or team for participation in the 2010 games. Sports included in this Olympics include bobsled, luge, skeleton, ice hockey, figure skating, speed skating, short track speed skating, curling, alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, cross country skiing, ski jumping and the nordic combined event.

While the world watches the events in Vancouver, the snow will also be falling at the site of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. www.vancouver2010.com
