The U.S. hockey team’s “Miracle on Ice” in Lake Placid. Michael Phelps’ slew of swimming records in Beijing. Nadia Comaneci’s groundbreaking gymnastics routine in Montreal. The Jamaican bobsledders’ display of heart and sportsmanship in Calgary.
With the Olympics just about upon us again, a new Bing Travel slide show takes a look back at sites from previous Olympiads, where medals were won and records were broken — as well as a look into the future, at the venues under way for the next few Olympiads.
I’m an Olympics junkie, and viewing this slide show is like looking at hallowed ground for me. Looking at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum gets my soul stirring with memories of Carl Lewis flying down the track. The sight of Barcelona’s Olympic Tower instantly transports me to Spain and Greg Louganis’ mastery of the dive. I’m excited to see what new highlights will unfold at the Olympics in Vancouver and beyond.
What Olympic sites and venues stand out for you? Have you been to the Olympics and seen them personally? Or do you have plans to go to Vancouver — and if so, what are you planning to see? Share your thoughts, memories and dreams with fellow travelers in the comments section.

We’re T-4.5 days from the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics Games. Who are you excited
I've been to 6 Olympics and love them all... !!! Would be hard to pick a favorite as all the cities had their own special flavor.
