The 2010 Olympics are only three and a half years away and for the next four days, officials from several Olympic countries - past and future - will meet to talk about Turin's Winter Olympics.They will focus on what Vancouver can learn from Italy's experience. The President of Turin's organizing committee has some advice. He says Vancouver should keep it's security low profile.

Cesare Vaciago, TOROC President, says, "I was suggesting a soft security, against a hard security. The type of security used in soccer's World Cup, where you have bigger masses of spectators, but you can control them with a few well-trained policemen."

He says another way to put on a successful Olympics is to keep your mistakes hidden. There were many mistakes, according to Vaciago, but nobody noticed them and he says that's a success.

Meetings will continue throughout the week in downtown Vancouver.
