EXACTLY ONE YEAR from the 2010 Olympics, Torch Unveiled today, Westcoaster.ca coverage on the "Best Job in the World" contest.

Tough to believe it's already just ONE year away from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, isn't it?

Seems like just LAST YEAR we were watching this:





Officials gather in Whistler to mark the one-year countdown to 2010 Olympics


WHISTLER, B.C. - The one-year countdown to the 2010 Winter Olympics is officially on.

Falling snow and cool temperatures were the perfect backdrop for a ceremony marking the countdown today in Whistler, B.C.

Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, told a crowd of about 1,500 that the Olympic torch relay will united Canadians across 4,500-kilometres.

Both the Olympic torch and the outfits worn by the torch bearers were unveiled during the ceremony.

John Furlong, head of the Vancouver Olympic Games Organizing Committee, said he's happy all the Games venues are ready and athletes have started competing at the facilities.

Whistler will host alpine skiing, nordic skiing, ski jumping and the sliding events during the Feb. 12-28 Olympics.
