Legacies

My definition of a legacy is something great that has been left by those before us to help us remember great deeds of the past.

The Richmond Oval will be a Legacy of the twenty-ten winter Olympic games because of what will happen to it after the games, not what actually goes down during the Olympics. It will also be remembered for the marvel of engineering the "Wood wave" is. After the closing ceremonies of the 2010 games the Richmond oval will immediately begin it's conversion to a training facility for many sports such as Ice hockey, Running with a 200m track, and lots of ball sports in the full size gymnasium. The actual speed skating track will remain being covered in a removable floor though and could be used for completions and training for our athletes. The roof includes over 1 million feet of BC pine beetle linked together to make a astonishing ripple effect. These things will make us remember the Richmond oval and the 2010 games forever.
