Back in 2002 when I was in like the 2nd grade, and the Olympics were in Salt Lake, I remember the torch running through my town (Portsmouth, Ohio) and we all got to go on a "field trip" to a street like a block away from my house to see the torch run by.
All of us retarded kids were chanting U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!

[QUOTE=legolover122;36596892]47 thousand security gaurds?
Goddamn, doesnt that seem a bit much?[/QUOTE]
No there should be at least a few hundred thousand more.
[QUOTE=Apache249;36597108]Imagine if somebody doused the torch with a CO2 fire extinguisher. "Oh no! Looks like we have to run all the way back to get another one."[/QUOTE]
They always carry a spare flame in a little lantern in the van just in case of that. During the Beijing relay they had to relight from that lantern several times because of people running at the torch.
[QUOTE=BoSoZoku;36596783]Honestly I'm surprised the boy didn't get hit by missiles.[/QUOTE]
Or why the sharpshooters didn't immediately open fire.
I came in this thread hoping that they would of been punched as soon as they got close.
:v: That was so passive. They were just like "Hey can we have this?".
I think they were just having a laugh, I don't expect they would've done much with it
Thats the torch? I was expecting something out of solid gold or some expensive shit.
[QUOTE=Apache249;36597108]Imagine if somebody doused the torch with a CO2 fire extinguisher. "Oh no! Looks like we have to run all the way back to get another one."[/QUOTE]
No they'd go and relight it from the parent flame and if the torch didn't light they'd switch it out for a different one.
For 2 seconds they were Olympic kids.
[QUOTE=fredstin22;36605185]Funny how the police did nothing but the security guards did everything[/QUOTE]
The "security guards" are police officers, from the met. They are responsible for the torch.

And they had multiple torches, the torchbearer just lights the next torchbearer's torch with his.

There are two flames in each torch. There is the visible one then there is a internal one. Because there is a gas or liquid being pushed out the top at high pressure, all that would happen is you would see the flame go out then re-ignite. And if for whatever reason it does go out, they got 3 backups.

They got 8 thousand of them
There are 8 thousand holes on each torch
The flame is going to cover over 8 thousand miles
See where LOCOG is going with this?
[QUOTE=TippZ;36598458]yes theyre[/QUOTE]
I disagree.

I thought 47,000 security guards jumped on them o_O

It would have been cooler if the bearer had to run longer than a mile, i mean the legend says the guy who stole the flame and ran, he ran fucking long.
p. normal for coventry

It's gone out several times on the UK relay because of rain and wind :v:
I know the person who was running with it at the time
I remember when it came through Melbourne in 2000 I held it.
I'm surprised it wasn't a skinny topless whore that tried to grab it.
what if someone stole it, and got to the stadium with it before the actual fellowship of the torch
would they have to start the olympics early, or what
