Flaming on with the Paralymipc Torch relay

The Paralympic Torch crosses the Sydney Harbour Bridge today, beating a scorched presence into the void that was once occupied by the Olympic torch. Not one of the runner winners came from my postal code but I could of been in contention of wielding the massive flaming stick. Word is that a local—one postcode number down—kid got the chance after having flooded the site with numerous entries. I thought he bent the rules but turns out that flooding was the key to winning.

In comparison with the Olympic torch, the Paralympic one is enormous. If they were to duke it out my money would be on the Paralympic torch to take out the slim and elegant Olympic torch.

One day to go before the motto of MIND. BODY. SPIRIT. becomes the hot item on the lips of the athletes in lieu of CITIUS. ALTIUS. FORTIUS.
