O Canada! Golden memories of Vancouver 2010 are conjured up by this stunning official Olympic relay torch from the True North Strong and Free’s most successful Winter Games. Canada won gold in both men’s and women’s hockey and an astounding 14 gold medals in all, a record for an Olympic Winter Games host. This original Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch, which is dated and hand-signed by a Bombardier quality control inspector, is the engineering marvel that carried the Olympic Flame on a 45,000-kilometer journey across Canada as 12,000 torchbearers shared its spirit with 1,037 communities from coast to coast to coast. “With Glowing Hearts” reads the inscription on the aluminum frame that houses the torch’s sophisticated technology within its fiberglass shell, which displays the colorful Vancouver 2010 Olympic logo. Signed on the inside by a Bombardier quality control inspector and displaying a manufacturing date of September 14th, 2009, the torch shows heavy scorching at the top from having been lit along with light surface wear. Accompanied by the original carrying bag, this piece will be a welcome addition to any Olympic collection.
