Vancouver Olympics

All Vancouver Olympics

Curling

It's one of the most peculiar but fascinating sports at the Olympics – using brushes and stones and demanding more strategy than physical prowess. Watch the Canadian men's team, which is the reigning Olympic champion.
Figure skating

Though figure skating will have some hot competition from Canadian favorites hockey and curling at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, the perennial crowd-pleaser is sure to wow fans – especially South Koreans, who could win their first medal.
Freestyle skiing

Complete preview of the Olympic freestyle skiing events, including YouTube videos, in-depth event graphics, what athletes to watch, and a history of the event.
Ice Hockey

In Canada, where hockey isn’t so much a sport as a way of life, the hockey tournament is being billed by some as the Olympic event to watch. Look for a strong Canadian men's team and a resurgent US women's team.
Luge

The Whistler track, where the 2010 Olympic races will be held, is considered the fastest in the world – adding extra adrenaline to the 'fastest sport on ice' this year.
Nordic Combined

Flying unaided by machines or makeshift wings in one of the most magical Olympics sports, Nordic combined skier Felix Gottwald and a trio of US athletes could make history at the 2010 Games.
Short track

Watch for the Korean and Chinese powerhouses to turn in more stellar performances, and for the return of American favorite Apolo Anton Ohno. After the 2006 Torino Olympics, Anton Ohno will be looking to defend his Olympic gold medal in the 500m and upgrade his bronze in the 1,000m.
Skeleton

Flying face-first on the fastest track in the world, skeleton racers could exceed 90 m.p.h. in Whistler. Canada will be looking for Alberta standout Mellisa Hollingsworth to excel, while the US also has some strong contenders.
Ski jumping

Soaring above the rugged British Columbia landscape, young Austrian sensation Gregor Schlierenzauer will aim for gold. But absent will be women jumpers, who lost a legal battle to end Olympic ski jumping's 86-year history as a men's-only sport.
Snowboarding

With a stacked team, US snowboarders could well repeat their 2006 feat of capturing more medals than any other US team – making them key to the overall medal count.
Speedskating

Speedskating, the world's fastest human-powered sport, is going to get a little faster in 2010.
