Default Olympic Torch Relay Challenge

Hi everyone,

The Olympic Torch relay has started in Canada and I would like to use this thread to share pictures of the couragous people carrying the flame.

You can see the map here:
Olympic Torch Relay Interactive Map : Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

The torch will reach my city only December 11th 2009.

I have ran with the torch twice - once when a relative had it in Aus many years ago... I touched it and then ran off, and more recently, the guy that ran the company I was working for actually has a real one - for some reason he left, we cleared his office and I had it for ages - we used to light it and run along the 5th floor balcony... we thought we were funny... Looking forward to seeing people's pictures.
