Saturday, Oct 31, 2009 @03:26pm CDT (Victoria, British Columbia) -- The Olympic flame has arrived in Canada for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
Before the games begin, the torch run will set a record. The 28-thousand-mile, 106-day journey will be the longest domestic torch relay in Olympic history. It'll include 12-thousand torch bearers and pass through over a thousand communities before arriving at the opening ceremony of the Games on February 12th. The flame was brought to the Pacific Coast city of Victoria, British Columbia from Greece by a military aircraft yesterday. (Copyright 2009 by VERTEXNews/Newsroom Solutions) |
