Planning for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver has reached a major milestone with the release of hourly event schedules of both the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The Vancouver Olympic Games Organizing Committee announced Saturday that the Olympic schedule has been approved by the executive board of the International Olympic Committee, which is currently in Beijing preparing for the upcoming 2008 Summer Games.
The hourly Paralympic Winter Games schedule was approved by the International Paralympic Committee in 2007.
Detailed schedules for both events are available at www.vancouver2010.com.
“This is a major milestone we can share with our sport and broadcast partners who worked closely with us to develop a balanced Games schedule that satisfies the respective International Sport Federations, television audiences around the world and spectators who will attend the Games,” Vanoc executive vice-president Cathy Priestner Allinger said in a statement.
The opening ceremony will take place at B.C. Place on February 12, 2010 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
The final event of the Games will be the high profile men’s gold-medal hockey game, which goes February 28 at 3:15 p.m. at General Motors Place.
