As Gordon Campbell and the Olympic Promotions are fond of saying. One more way BC is the best place on earth? It’s the only place in the world where a committee would make an Olympic torch that looks like this:
All locals (Ross Rebagliati included) should immediately get it, and wonder how in the hell a committee from Vancouver could possibly not recognise what their torch resembled.
Though perhaps they did it for the potential puns:
Suzanne Reeves, the Vancouver organizing committee’s director of communications for the Olympic torch relay, said she has taken the torch across the country and people’s faces light up when they get the chance to hold it.
(Emphasis mine)
