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 was never lit, is dated and hand-signed by a Bombardier quality control inspector. A marvel of design and engineering, it 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. With no issues regarding condition, included are the original carry case and the cardboard shipping box, which is missing one of its cardboard tabs.
