En la madrugada de ayer se dieron por concluidos los Juegos Olímpicos de invierno 2010 que se vienen celebrando en la localidad canadiense de Vancouver desde el 12 de febrero. Los deportes de invierno no son muy populares en nuestro país pero nuestro diario ha dedicado una página todos los días escrita por Paco Grande desde el continente americano. Destacar el magnífico trabajo realizado por los compañeros de infografía con unos gráficos donde se explicaban las diferentes pruebas y disciplinas de las Olimpiadas de inverno.

Os presento una edición con lo mejor que he encontrado llegado de las diferentes agencias desde Vancouver.  Imágenes impresionantes con el trasfondo de la nieve y el hielo.
