The Winter Olympics 2010 will begin on
February 12, 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
 British
Columbia is a province of
Canada. The five Olympic rings represent the
five major regions of the world – Africa, the Americas,
Asia, Europe and Oceana, and
every national flag in the world
includes one of the five colors, which are (from left to
right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The
Olympic
motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius." These three Latin
words mean "Swifter, Higher, Stronger." The
Olympic Creed reads:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not
to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in
life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential
thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
