And those viewers were treated to some truly memorable Olympic moments during the 16 days of competition in Vancouver. Among the highlights were Kim Yu-Na's sensational and gracefulperformance in the women's figure skating and the acrobatic exploits of Shaun White in thesnowboard halfpipe.There were also multiple gold medals for a number of athletes, including Norwegian skier MaritBjoergen and Chinese speed skater Wang Meng, who both topped the podium three times.Away from the sporting arena, Vancouver 2010 set a new standard for sustainability and legacy planning, with environmental and economic concerns incorporated into every aspect of the planning process.With the Games taking place on the traditional territories of the Lil'wat, Musqueam, Squamish andTsleil-Waututh, Vancouver 2010 also broke new ground for Aboriginal participation in the planningand hosting of the Games, recognising the Four Host First Nations as official partners. This marks the first time that indigenous peoples have been recognised as official partners in the hosting of the Games.However, the undoubted story of the Games was the friendly atmosphere created by Vancouver's residents, as they lived up to the Games motto's promise by welcoming the world 'With Glowing Hearts'."There has been euphoria here, a change. Something has happened,not just in Vancouver but all over the country. I think the country has taken a different position around these Games. They have notbeen spectators; they have lived every moment with us. I think that is something we can be proud of."John Furlong, CEO, VANOCChapter One / WITH GLOWING HEARTS15
