Does anyone have any doubt that the person that will be the final torch bearer will be Pele? 

 

It would be the only second football player in olympic history to lights the flame if I´m not wrong, since Michel Platini in Albertville 1992

well Football is not really a very big Olympic sport, however i dont believe there is any brazillian athlete bigger then him (i just hope they wont go the london route and let 5 kids to light the couldron , which did nothing because most of them went to college and are done with sport)

Pele isn't an Olympian though, so I doubt that. Platini on the other hand was an Olympian in 1976.

    • Just a little bump to remind everyone that, amidst all the excitement for other sports, the Luge Season starts tomorrow from Norway.  Excellent - probably the best of all winter sports - coverage is on YouTube featuring some of sports' most ditsy lady commentators and a revolving cast of guest experts, usually featuring whatever lugeist is having a day off and speaks decent English.   FIL Luge - YouTube

    • really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.
