Our friend, Canadian photographer Kris Krug has a new round of stunning photos from Vancouver. Two years ago he took a collection of photographs while he attended the Summer Olympics in China, many of which we ran here. Being a native Canadian, in fact a resident of Vancouver, made him perfect to snap photos of his homeland gearing up for the Games.
More photos after the jump of all the sights that Vancouver has to offer. Sorry, there are no Curling photos
Canadian photographer Kris Krug is no stranger to our Olympics blog. Two years ago he provided some beautiful photographs
while covering the Summer Olympics in China. Being a
native Canadian, in fact a resident of Vancouver, made him especially suited to
snap photos of his homeland gearing up for the Games.
Vancouver Olympiad Lori Fung,
with her gold medal, was present when the Olympic torch came to
Vancouver City Hall. Fung was the first gold medalist awarded in the
sport of rhythmic gymnastics during the 1984 Summer Olympics, which were held in Los Angeles.
The Olympic torch had an extended route through all of Vancouver, with
the relay going through the city's neighborhoods. The Vancouver City Council, accompanied by Mayor Gregor Robertson, welcomed the torch when it came to City Hall.
