The longest torch relay
I just find out that Olympic torch will have the longest relay in the history!!! :O
"It will cover 83 towns and cities, one for every region in Russia, covering nine time zones on a 65,000 km journey, and taking in a distance equal to more than one and a half times around the circumference of the world. It will travel to the bottom of Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, and cross 32 million railway sleepers, mostly on the Trans-Siberian train. It will be carried by planes, trains, buses, river barges, a mini-submarine in Lake Baikal, and even a Russian 'troika', a traditional sleigh pulled by three horses.
Some 14,000 torchbearers will be involved, and 130 million Russians will be able to see it." - http://siberiantimes.com/sport/others/news/olympic-flame-to-warm-siberia-on-longest-torch-relay-in-history/
That's realy cool!!!
Right now, Olympic torch is in the space. Unbelievable!!!!!! "The torch will be brought back to Earth by Russian Fyodor Yurchikhin, American astronaut Karen Nyberg and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano on 11 November. It then continues the 40,000-mile (65,000km) relay that has taken it to the North Pole on an atomic-powered ice breaker and will reach Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus, as well as the depths of Siberia's Lake Baikal." - http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/nov/07/olympic-torch-goes-on-spacewalk
