Who Will Light The Olympic Cauldron?
 

Well, 7 years after winning the right to host the 2010 Winter Olympics & 7 Billion Dollars later, the Olympics will start tomorrow night.
The Olympic Torch will go by my house on the street just behind my house.
My kids school has been dismissed for the afternoon & someone bought them all at the school Winter Olympic Mittens & the whole school will be out on the street (all 600 students K-7) to witness the event.
20% of the main commuter arteries into the City are blocked off for the duration of the games.
I have never seem this many cops, security guards, military in the city before.
There is a no fly zone in a 30 mile radius of Vancouver extending a bit into Washington State.

Speculation is that everyone from Wayne Gretzky, to Karen Magnensun, (she won Gold for Canada at 72 games.).

Most people think it will be this man via a Hologram or his mom lighting the Cauldron.

A hologram? Dunno, but if it can be done well, I'm all for it. If not, his mom would be awesome, too. Amazing story.

Vanoc says that Wayne Gretzky will not light the cauldron!

The mystery deepens!:dunno

BTW,

My guess is it will be Michael J Fox, he grew up in Burnaby.

The final torchbearers for the 2010 Winter Olympics are Rick Hansen, Catriona Le May Doan, Steve Nash, Nancy Greene and Wayne Gretzky.

They lit the inside Cauldron.

Wayne Gretzky has lit the Olympic cauldron on Vancouver's waterfront to open the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Gretzky carried the flame from BC Place Stadium, west along Georgia St. and then north to the foot of Thurlow St.

There are people complaining about Wayne Gretzky lighting the Olympic Cauldron at the waterfront site right next to the Olympic media centre.
He rode on the back of a pick up truck to the waterfront (about 5 minutes away) with the torch & one person on the radio said where else but Canada could one do that?:thumbsup
