The Vancouver Biennale salutes all of our athletes at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and welcomes our friends from around the world.

I wish that I came from overseas and could see Vancouver for the first time!  Things like Vectorial Elevation, the Olympic Flame and even the sculpture that the Vancouver Biennale has brought to Vancouver from all over the globe.

Speaking of seeing things for the first time, look what our favorite friend, Gillian “Coordinator for Anything Important That’s Happening at the Vancouver Biennale” Wood, got to see the other day.

That’s right, Gillian got to see Alexandre Bilodeau win GOLD at the Men’s Moguls!  Alexandre is the first Canadian athlete to EVER WIN GOLD on Canadian soil!

Big respect to all of our athletes and to our current medal winners Alexandre, Jennifer Heil and Kristina Groves!

Here’s some more shots of Gillian rocking the Olympics action.
