Was it planned for Gretzky to light the outdoor cauldron?
Was it planned for Wayne Gretzky to light the outdoor cauldron by himself, or did the Great One come thru in the clinch yet again and improvised by running it himself and lighting it?
I think that would be awesome if he improvised, the Great One lives up to his name!

Yes, it was planned. Olympic IOC rules state that the torch must be able to be seen by the surrounding area. Therefore the flame must be outdoors because if they left that on the inside nobody would be able to see it and it would be in violation of the rules. Plus, I think they are gonna hold some of the figure skating and ice dancing competitions in that stadium so even if that rule wasn't in place they'd still have to move it.

i can't have faith human beings have any objection to Gretzky lights the torch. the place have been you whilst some 12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous absolute no person by utilising the call of Robyn Perry lit the cauldron in Calgary 88 basically 7 years after the death of undesirable Terry whilst his legacy grow to be sparkling in each Canadian's memory. whilst i might have not have been given any objection in any comprehend to having Bett Fox gentle the Olypmic cauldron, it is the iciness Olympics that's a international social gathering of iciness activities and iciness athletes. shop that in the time of attitude. Wayne Gretzky is the main celebrated, achieved and across the international recongnisable professional athlete this united states has ever produced and he happens to have performed hocky - a iciness interest. That on my own entitles him to inaugurate the video games and to end that he does not very own the credentials to take action is ridiculous. In adddition, he desires to be extraordinarily acknowledged because of the fact devoid of his quintessential involvement interior the Vancouver pitch for the video games, the torch may well be getting lit in some imprecise iciness hotel someplace else and definitely, the magnitude of his function has been explicitly known by utilising Gordon Campbell in right this moment's press convention. looking forward to seeing Wayne do us proud.
