Just read on BBC about one the final torch bearers whose parents did make it to the ceremony because they had gone off on holiday. . . Sounds like he went home on gis todd after the whole thing

Seriously great show though

Can you translate that into readable English please? :blink:

I agree. Why did they speak in French. I dont get it at all. Is it cos the President of the IOC is French? Weird
