So who was it? I had to go into work for a little bit.

Edit: Ahh...got back in just enough time to see it. Not as cool as Ali or the girl who lit it with the flaming arrow.

Looks like the 1980 Hockey team.

Do you guys remember any torch lighting in particular as a favorite? My personal favorite was the Barcelona summer games where the archer shot the flaming arrow over the cauldron. VERY cool.

Good show, all-in-all. Pretty of the Pres. to sit with the athletes. The Lilehammer Opening Ceremonies are still the best I've seen, though.
