Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic Torch arrives in Vancouver tonight for the opening ceremonies of the 21st Winter Games. On its way through Canada, it rode on skates, sleds, snowmobiles, boats, wheels, and even a snowboard. One torchbearer even received a marriage proposal while she was carrying the Olympic flame! The Big Picture shows what the journey is like in a series of photographs. Link
