With Beijing a distant memory now, planning for the next Winter Olympics has stepped up a gear and we've been in Vancouver and Whistler this week on a site visit for the 2010 Games.

They take place from 12 to 28 February and, with less than 14 months to go, it's been a busy few days visiting venues, scouting for live locations, securing accommodation and meeting a lot of the people we'll be working with when the Games come around.

With the different sports split between Vancouver, which is the largest city ever to host the Winter Olympics, and the ski resort of Whistler, we want to make sure that our live presentation represents both locations.
