CNW Group | VANCOUVER ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE 2010 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES | Athletes take flight at Whistler Olympic Park: "With construction of the ski jumps and Nordic trails now complete for the 2010 Winter Games, Whistler Olympic Park is ready to welcome the first Nordic combined and ski jumping competitions on January 1-5, 2008. 'To see some of the world's best ski jumping athletes literally flying at Whistler Olympic Park will be inspiring,' said Cathy Priestner Allinger, VANOC's Executive Vice President, Sport, Paralympic Games and Venue Management. 'Ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes from around the world - both men and women - now have another world-class facility where they can train and compete, and where women ski jumpers in particular can continue to develop their sport in pursuit of their opportunity to compete in future Olympic Winter Games.'"
