The XX Olympic Winter Games are currently being held in Torino ("Turin"), Italy from February 10 to February 26, 2006. It is the second time that Italy has hosted the Olympic Winter Games, as it hosted the VII Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956, and the third time overall that Italy will have hosted an Olympic Games, as it also hosted the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome in 1960.
Google made a beautiful doodle for this event:
The logo is linking to these page results.
An altlete, made of ice (representing the Winter Games), is holding a torch in his hand. In real life it looks like this:
Now, the athlete is passing the torch to a woman.
At the right; this is the Olympic cauldron. The tower with the Olympic Fire is 57 metres high with five tubes stretching towards the sky, a construction that is one of the highest ever built for an Olympic Game!
Again, in real life, it looks like this:
Very nice design in my opinion.
That's about it!
