... it is the third time that the Olympic Games will have taken place in Canada - from 12th - 28th February 2010. Vancouver will host the Olympic sports of ice hockey, short-track speed skating, curling and figure skating. Speed skating events will take place in the nearby suburb of Richmond while the snowboarders and freestyle skiers will contest medals on the "Cypress Mountain" district of west Vancouver (approximately 30km away). Alpine and Nordic competitions will take place at Whistler, about two hour's drive from Vancouver. In the same area the "Whistler Sliding Center" will hold the bobsleigh, toboggan and skeleton competitions.

The location of the Austria House 2010 will also be at Whistler. No sporting events worldwide attract more people than the Olympic Games. This major worldwide sporting event unites and inspires people regardless of age, nationality or gender, and therefore attracts a broad target audience, making the Olympic Games very attractive as an advertising platform.
