London Olympics 2012 Torch unveiled

THE LONDON Olympics organisers unveiled a prototype of the London 2012 Olympic Torch in London on Wednesday, June 8. The biggest sports event of the world will be taking place from July 27 to August 12 next year. Thousands of athletes from across the globe will take part in the London Olympics 2012.

The gold-coloured triangular London Olympics torch, which has been designed by the world class designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, is perforated with 8,000 small cut-out circles, representing the 8,000 Torchbearers. The Olympics Torch, one of the most lightweight Olympics Torch, is 800 mm in height and 800 gm in weight.

The 8000 Torchbearers will carry it for the 70-day long Olympics Torch Relay, and will cover the 8000 miles journey across the UK with an average of 110 people a day.

The Torch relay will start from Land's End on from May 19, 2012, and will reach its final destination, the Olympics Stadium, on July 27, for the lightning of the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony to officially inauguration of the world's biggest sports event.

The London Olympics 2012 Torch has been inspired by the three significant Olympic values of respect, excellence and friendship. The UK has hosted the Olympic Games two times previously in 1908, and 1948. It will be the third time that London will host the Olympics in 2012 with the three words that make the Olympic motto – faster, higher, stronger.
