The figure skating training tickets are a great chance for fans to watch star athletes just hours or days before they perform before the world at Pacific Coliseum.
Tickets are available for seven figure skating training sessions at Pacific Coliseum, where competitions in ice dance, single and pairs figure skating will occur during the Games. The skaters could include Canadian medal hopefuls Patrick Chan and Joannie Rochette, world champions American Evan Lysacek, South Korea's Kim Yu-Na, as well as Russia's ice dancing stars Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin.
The Closing Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games will be an intimate, open-air event at the new Whistler Medals Plaza in the heart of the resort. The evening will include breathtaking entertainment and the parade of Paralympians from around the world as they march into the amphitheatre. The night will mark the official end of the 2010 Winter Games.
