Actually your idea was disscussed at work the other a sort of U/K 'Hall of Fame' theme with former olympians linning the steps and passing the torch up to the 'guy at the top' which for me is either Sir Steve or Sir Roger
I cant see why we cant do this,Sir Steve does the last 500 climbs the steps and he and Sir Roger light the flame. World record holders,Olympians together.
He was joint favourite with one or two Bookie's along with Sir Steve. I did wonder whether it would end up something like Sir Steve taking on the final 500 metres climbing the steps and handing over to Sir Roger ?
