Vancouver-Garibaldi 1976 Olympic Winter Games Bid (CBC)

Broadcast Date: July 2, 2003

When the International Olympic Committee announces Montreal will host the 1976 Summer Games, it's a stake through the heart of Canada's other bid. Vancouver-Garibaldi worked for 10 years to bid on the Winter Games; this afternoon was to be their moment of glory. But the IOC is loath to give both games to the same country. As we see in this clip, in the race to get the Games one city's glory is always another city's grief.

1976 was a disaster, Canada should have won. BTW, i thought garibali was another city, so the plan 4 the games of 76 pretty much happened in 2010?

Well, they didn't win this bid... But the Canadian Olympic Winter Games started in Calgary in 1988, then Vancouver hosted a successful Olympics last February. Fourteen (14) golds for Canada. AMAZING PERFORMANCE!
