Holding the torch

Finally I have discover the name of the man that, so kindly, allowed me to hold the torch before he ran with it. His name is Mario Pescante and he is the Vice President of the IOC. Find out more about him here: http://www.olympic.org/en/content/The-IOC/Members/Mr-Mario-PESCANTE/

He seemed like a genuinely kind man and has had quite the long career in sports.

I'll update the previous blog entry to reflect my new found knowledge!
