Olympic Fans

International sports enthusiasts can visit the history from the Olympic Games in Canada, and obtain a glimpse of the longer term. 

Canada hosted its first Olympic Games in Montreal, Quebec in 1976. 

The Olympic Stadium in Montreal features the world’s tallest inclined tower—it is 574 feet (175 m ) high. The vision from the architect who planned the stadium was nearly impossible to obtain, however. The stadium’s retractable roof wasn‘t completed until 1987, greater than 10 years following the event for which it was eventually designed. 

The velodrome built to the 1976 Games was re-purposed for education in 1992 and it is now referred to as Biodôme. Visitors towards the museum will experience four typical indigenous American environments : the polar region, a tropical forest, the St. Lawrence marine, and also the Laurentian forest. 

In 1988, Calgary, Alberta hosted the 15th Winter Olympiad and profited mightily from it (unlike Montreal, which remains paying for the stadium roof ! ). The Olympic Oval is really a fully equipped training facility utilized by skaters, runners, hockey players, and athletes of stripes. Nearby Canada Olympic Park is that the home of North America’s largest Olympic museum, the Olympic Hall of Fame. The Park is likewise home to Canada’s only Olympic bobsled / luge track. Adventurous visitors ready to sign a waiver can even purchase a trip through track inside a sled driven by perhaps one of the park’s trained drivers. 

Canada will again be hosting the Winter Olympics, this point in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2010. The city has already begun preparations for the large event. Omega, Official Timekeeper from the 2010 Games, unveiled a three-year countdown clock in downtown Vancouver on February 12, 2007. Construction from the Vancouver Olympic Village will begin inside the summer of 2007. The Games facilities will certainly be made open to athletes for training by Winter 2007 / 2008.
