The Canadian city of Vancouver beat off the challenges of South Korea's Pyeongchangnd Salzburg of Austria to win the right to stage the 2010 Winter Olympics Wednesday.
Vancouver, always the favorite, won by taking a narrow majority in the second round of voting by International Olympic Committee (IOC) members against Pyeongchang after Salzburg was surprisingly eliminated in the first round.
The relatively unknown Asian candidate had been widely expected to place third in the opening ballot but took Vancouver surprisingly close, losing by just three votes -- 56 to Vancouver and 53 to the Koreans.
The Korean candidate led the first round with 51 votes to 40 for Vancouver and just 16 for Salzburg.
The Vancouver delegation at Prague's Hilton Hotel where the IOC were in session erupted in cheering and hooting as IOC president Jacques Rogge announced the result of the vote.
Canadian prime minister Jean Chretien, a member of the Vancouver delegation, said: "I'm sure that the 2010 Games will be extremely exciting but there was a lot of uncertainty about the thing.
"There were rumors coming that we were doing well and then not well and one that they had already announced South Korea had won. It's terribly nerve racking but it's the thrill of being in it."
Vancouver will bring the Winter Games to Canada for only the second time and the first since 1988 when Calgary staged the event. Canada also staged one Summer Games -- in Montreal in 1976.
It will be the 21st Winter Games to be held and the sixth in North America.
