Vancouver 2010's volunteer project (if London 2012 is anything to go by) will not start recruiting until late 2007 / early 2008. At that time, go to the main Vancouver 2010 site and register an interest.

I'm sure that some charity or political campaign would love to have you volunteer.  Try it.  Since I don't know London that well, (I was there for a week, years ago) I can't help you further.\n\nSo, pick your favorite cause and as them if they will take you on.

I live in Beijing and there's a great hockey community here, so I'm sure there must be something there. Try contacting http://www.whitetigers.or.kr/ or http://www.glaciershockey.com/ Good luck.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are being held in Vancouver, Canada. Are you asking the question as a disgruntled Canadian voter or as someone who has been told their house will be demolished to make way for an Olympic venue?

As was already mentioned, the IOC decides where the games will be held.\n\nYou also asked about future games.  They are:\n\n2008 Summer Games -- Beijing\n2010 Winter ames -- Vancouver, BC, Canada\n2012 Summer Games -- London, England

That's not the sort of information that is usually available at a snap. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact people living in past Winter Olympic host cities who were aged between 5 and 13 when the Games where hosted there and ask what influence it had on them.

According to Xinhua News Service, tickets won't go on sale until early 2007. The number of the tickets is yet to be determined since some stadiums are still under construction and their seating capacity remains unknown.\n\nI have noticed that you can buy tickets online at the official website. I know for Athens, you can select specific events and times, although the opening ceremony might be tough to get into, unless you reserve them.\n\nBut check out these websites, they offer great information and pictures of venues:\nhttp://en.beijing2008.com/ \nhttp://www.olympic.org/uk/games/beijing/index_uk.asp

Very easy to do that so long as you have the money and the ambition. You need to be passionate about what you want just as an Olympic sportsperson is. Statistics I read some time ago indicated that  foreigners are likely to be more successful than local people. When you have your back to the wall you know you have to succeed... don't go back!!!

Check this website. www.vso.org.uk . If you have the right skills and ambition, they are more than happy to consider you. It is a very rewarding volunteering experience and you get paid money enough to live on and given accomodation in the place you are assigned. Give them a ring or email them.

It depends what sport you're looking to try out for. If its a speed sport, than chances are there's a national qualifying time you have to make to get on to the olympic team. If you think you're ale to beat mathe the qualifying time, you'd have to contact that sports' organization, like us athletics, or swim US, for example.

you cant join the olympics.. you qualify for the olympics\n\nand to qualify you must meet with the international federation, the IOC ( int. olymp com ) and your country's rules. \n\nIn my case, the toughest one to meet was my country's because they dont have enough money to send everyone that qualifies. so they would set qualifing times very very high.. \n\nBut to your question.. you cant be independent, everyone is a citizen of at least one country.. and if you are from more than one.. you have to choose at least 2 years before which one you are going to try to go with.

you would need to begin meeting world wide with the representatives of the sport you would also need skills in co ordinating on a national scale as well as Olympic and govt sporting co-coordinator connections,  so as to be recognized internationally \nyou cant do it on your own that's for sure recruit experienced people from both a clerical/managerial and sporting roles \nyou will equally need capital outlay and a public relations representative I'm sure there is  more

You can get the skinny on local events and activities from your city's convention and visitor's bureau. They usually have a newcomer's packet, and will certainly have an ear to the ground on where you can get involved. You might also check your local library for groups, newcomer info, and a community bulletin board.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~

Try mailing your request with a polite letter to the sports publicity office.  My guess is that they will try and accommodate you.
