20 10 February 12-28 Vancouver, Canada.
In July 2003, Vancouver, Canada defeated Pyeongchang, South Korea, the last competitor, and won the right to host the 20 10 Winter Olympics.
On April 23rd, 2005, the organizing committee of Vancouver Winter Olympics announced the emblem named Ilanaaq.
The emblem was designed by Elena Rivera McGregor. The subject is an abstract human figure with open arms and consists of five rectangles. Below are the words "Vancouver 20 10" and the Olympic rings.
The design of the main statue is inspired by the giant stone carving of Inuit in northern Canada. These carved and stacked humanoid boulders are often used as road signs and monuments. The main image of this human figure is named Elanak, which means "friend" in Inuit.
Iranak's head is green, his arms are dark blue, his trunk is sky blue, and his legs are red and gold respectively. Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee said that green, dark blue and sky blue represent forests, mountains and islands in the coastal areas of Vancouver, red is the color of maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada, and gold represents the sunset scenery in Vancouver. These five colors are the same as those of the Olympic rings. Furong, CEO of Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee, said that the whole human figure embodies "friendship, enthusiasm, strength, vision and team spirit".
20071October 27th, 20 10 Vancouver mascots for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics were announced. They are three cartoon characters created according to the myths and legends of British Columbia where Vancouver is located.
The mascots of the Winter Olympics are the polar bear named Micah and the North American savage named Kuitzky, while the mascot of the Winter Paralympics is the Thunderbird Elf named Su Mi. The organizing committee of Vancouver Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games held a mascot release ceremony in Suri, near Vancouver, on the 27th. More than 800 students from 8 local primary schools witnessed this exciting moment.
These three mascots were designed by Miomi Design Company in Vancouver. Miga is a polar bear skiing, and its creativity comes from the folklore of British Columbia aborigines. Kuitzky is a savage in North America, with a brown beard and blue earmuffs. This image is reminiscent of a mysterious story about the vast wilderness of Canada. Su Mi is a patron saint of flying animals with Thunderbird wings. He is a "natural environmental leader".
