Figure Skating at the Vancouver 2010 Games

The Pacific Coliseum will host the figure skating and short track speed skating events at the Vancouver Olympics 2010. The venue is located 6.2 kilometres from the athletes village at an elevation of 26 metres. It has a capacity of slightly over 14,000. This arena is currently the home of Canada's Western Hockey League's Vancouver Giants and is the former home of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks. The Pacific Coliseum was also host to the World Junior Hockey Championships in 2006 and game four of the famed 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union.

For Vancouver Games 2010, the ice will be enlarged to an Olympic size ice surface to accommodate both the figure skating and short track speed skating events. Renos have included the replacement of 16,000 seats. Future renovations are supposed to include upgrades to the washroom facilities, concession areas, and to the building heating/ventilation systems.

Following the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games Games, the arena will continue to host events as well as serve as the home arena for the WHL's Vancouver Giants hockey team.
