It's time to "sing the body electric" for world class athletes and world class artists as Vancouver took an esthetically pleasing look at the power of the human body - in two forms. First, the BC Sports Hall of Fame Banquet of Champions took place at the Vancouver Convention Centre where close to 1,000 gala guests came out to honour 11 deserving inductees. Mountain biker Alison Sydor, and soccer's Domenic Mobilio were among the notable names that have helped put this city on the map - but all deserve a standing ovation for having helped inspire us to our Olympic dreams. Meanwhile, Dominelli International honoured the human form in other ways at Carnevale 2008 - the 14th Annual Body Art Competition. Held in support of the BC Burn Fund at the Italian Cultural Centre, 11 talented artists transformed their models into spectacular walking, breathing, works of art - each one representing a different country. Choosing a winner was extremely tough, but Canada, Spain and Kenya took top honours in this battle of the bodies beautiful. Congrats to everyone.
