For winter sports enthusiasts it is very exciting to have 2 weeks of winter sports on television.
Opening Ceremony
With 2,500 athletes from more than 80 nations expected to take part in these Games over the next 17 days, Canada is promising to put on a magnificent show. The event culminates in the lighting of the Olympic flame - 12,000 torchbearers have helped carry the Olympic torch from Athens to Vancouver over the past four months.
BBC Two: Live coverage 13th February 01:45 & repeated at 13th February 12:00.
BBC Coverage
The 2010 Vancouver Olympics will represent the 14th Winter Olympic Games broadcast by the BBC, a sequence that has run unbroken since the 1960 Games in Squaw Valley, California, USA.
You will be able to access live coverage, the latest news updates and any of those missed magical moments, regardless of the time of day and where they are, through the BBC's extensive TV, radio, online, red button, mobile and BBC iPlayer services.
You can also benefit from the BBC HD channel, where you can watch the coverage from BBC Two with more detailed pictures and sharper shots of fast-moving action than conventional 'standard definition'.
You can also view the 2010 Vancouver Olympics on Eurosport. Coverage on British Eurosport includes live coverage, sporting highlights and magazine-style programmes including "Olympic Breakfast", "Olympic Finish Line" and "Olympic Countdown".
Eurosport Coverage
From 13-28 February British Eurosport will dedicate itself solely to 24 hour Winter Olympics coverage. There is also coverage on 12 February with eight scheduled programmes and there are also magazine-style items scheduled during the build up to the Winter Olympic Games on 3 February, 10 February and 11 February.
So you don't miss out, here is a breakdown of the schedule.
