The stage is set for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada! Four Filipinos were chosen as torch bearers.

This is a major international multi-sport event held on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond.

The mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games were introduced on November 27, 2007.[15]  Inspired by traditional First Nations creatures, the mascots include:

* Miga — A mythical sea bear, part orca and part kermode bear.
* Quatchi — A sasquatch, who wears boots and earmuffs.
* Sumi — An animal guardian spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty Thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.
* Mukmuk — A Vancouver Island marmot.

Miga and Quatchi are mascots for the Olympic Games, while Sumi is the mascot for the Paralympic Games. Mukmuk is considered a sidekick, not a full mascot.
