Today, the 81-yr. old former gold medallist for figure skating (1948 Winter Olympics) did her mini jog with the Olympic flame torch in the cross-Canada relay. She went inside the Canadian House of Commons, our federal seat of government in Ottawa in Parliament Buildings. No doubt, it was an enormous thrill for her.
Flame will have travelled 25,000 kms. across Canada by the time it reaches Vancouver in Feb. 2010.
