So what can you expect from us? Well, Vancouver is eight hours behind GMT, so if you are watching in the UK, your live TV coverage will start most evenings at around 7pm and continue through to the early morning UK time.
BBC Two will dedicate approximately 160 hours to the event over the 17 days, plus 2,000 hours of interactive coverage from BBC Red Button.
Viewers with digital TV can access up to six additional streams of coverage to see extended coverage of the 86 individual events. In addition BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer will carry a 30-minute Highlights show - available everyday from 0600 on the red button and around 0800 on iPlayer, encapsulating all the day's action.
There will be a catch up show every lunchtime on BBC Two featuring the best of the overnight action.
