Just heard on the news..

Final torchbearer not Gretzky

VANCOUVER — Wayne Gretzky will not be the final torchbearer at Friday
night’s opening ceremony for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, organizers said Thursday.


Vancouver Organizing Committee CEO John Furlong said that speculation that the hockey great and former Olympian would light the Games cauldron is wrong.


"It’s one of those challenges you have where only one or two people can know, or it isn’t going to stay locked down," Furlong said. "And I have gone to bed and woke up every day for the last 90 days praying I wouldn’t see it on the front page of the paper — and so far it hasn’t.”
Furlong said spectators will find out the final torchbearer’s identity on Friday night.
“You can think about this as long as you’d like and you can think about the last moments of the ceremonies as long as you’d like and you’re not going to figure it out," he said.

There is an article in the province today that speculates the crowd will wear white cloaks and they will project an image of Terry Fox on the crowd. With Bobby Orr etc in there somewhere.

It's all only speculation but i think it's pretty f'ing cool that they've kept it a secret for the whole time! I hate spoilers, and when this will only come once in my lifetime, i want it to be memorable.
