A CHALLENGE AND A PROMISE
Own the Podium 2010 is a challenge to our nation to step up and show the world its very best. It is an unprecedented commitment to Canadian winter sport that spans virtually every discipline and region. It is a promise to our athletes that they will have solid support from training ground to finish line. And it is a bold statement of purpose, setting the highest possible standard for performance on the worlds most demanding stage.
Launched in January 2005, Own the Podium 2010 is a national sport technical initiative designed to help Canadas winter athletes win the most number of medals at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, and to place in the top three nations (gold medal count) at the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.
The initiative is a collaborative effort supported by all of Canadas winter national sport organizations (NSOs) and the major winter sport funding partners, including Sport Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), the Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), the Calgary Olympic Development ociation (CODA), the Government of British Columbia, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), and several of VANOCs corporate sponsors.
