Who will light the torch/flame in london 2012?

Question

i think it will be 6 times olympic champion, steve redgrave

http://www.steveredgrave.com/fast_facts.htm

who do you think?

Answer 1

Steve Redgrave would be a good choice.

However he won 5 gold medals not 6:

1984 - coxed four

1988 - coxless pair

1992 - coxless pair

1996 - coxless pair

2000 - coxless four

His sixth medal was a bronze in 1988 in his second event the coxed pair (no longer in the olympics)

I hope it isn't the over paid prima donna - otherwise known as David Beckham

Answer 2

Get Usain Bolt to do it, that way he could light it in 9.69 seconds and London wouldn't have to embarass itself with an attempt at matching Beijing's opening ceremony.

It's just a shame he's Jamaican =/

Btw, I live in London.

Answer 3

My guess is David Beckham.

Answer 4

What about the best man in British Football who took the ball to Beijing in China at the Closing Ceremony.  One at start and the other at end.

Answer 5

I have no idea since I don't know much of British athletes. Maybe a medalist from this year's Olympics!

Answer 6

Hopefully no one from China.

Answer 7

its probably chris hoy 'caus he broke the british record by winning 3 gold medals!!!!
