I like the symbolism they attempted. It took a lot out of it at the one pole didn't rise. That has to be an Olympic's organizers worst nightmare. I like that 4 people were supposed to light it, not just one. I liked the additional jaunt across town with Gretzky too!

There are some Jamaican athletes in other events though!

One athlete for Jamaica. He is an American skier with dual citizenship who used to ski for the US team. His father is Jamaican and passed away when he was 14, but he got to carry the Jamaican flag! It's a lot easier to make the Jamaican winter Olympics than the US one perhaps?
