Vancouver Overcast (Episode 8): Bob Mackin on the Pressure Cooker 2010 Olympics—PART TWO

Bob Mackin is a journalist from TheBreaker.news and host of TheBreaker.news podcast with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which began 10 years ago this month. In this second part of our 2-part conversation, Bob describes the “pressure cooker” days as the Games get underway, and the huge logistical and personal challenges Olympics organizers faced. Finally, we ask the most important question: can or should Vancouver ever invite the world back for a global competition again? The answer may surprise you.
