Abstract
As International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge stated in his closing speech, the Games in Vancouver provided 16 unforgettable days with many strong emotions. There were incredible performances, unimaginable mistakes and failures, and tragically the death of an athlete. Major issues included a lawsuit by women ski jumpers, anti-doping efforts, the introduction of a biological passport and the crash and death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili
