Vancouver 2010: Bitter struggle for medals - PART 1- PHOTOS

Over 100 medals have been awarded so far, with the United States, Germany, Norway and Canada leading the medal race.

This year's event has been nicknamed by some as the Glitch Games, with more than its share of problems, from a malfunctioning cauldron on opening night to weather problems and course troubles.

VANOC officials said they were working on the issues they could control, and were optimistic as athletes continued to deliver amazing performances in the many venues around Vancouver. Collected here are some photos from Days 1-8, with more to follow in another entry after the closing ceremony.
