Pedro Yang, Badminton’s representative on the IOC Athlete Commission and torch bearer for the 2012 Vancouver Olympics, stopped by the ClearOne Badminton Centre with a special gift.
The Torch, pictures above, was the actual torch lit and carried by Mr. Yang for a 400m stretch in Pitt Meadows on Monday, February 8th, 2010.
“It was a great honor to be part of this ancient ceremony,” said the former Olympian, “I hope I represented our sport in the highest esteem.”
The Torch, which can only ever be lit once, will temporarily reside at the ClearOne Centre Browngate Location (”C2″).
Pedro Yang was a 2004 mens singles qualifier at the Athens Olympics. He is a Guatemalan citizen but lives and trains in Denmark since 2000.
We wish the future torch bearers of ClearOne Badminton luck in all their olympic pursuits.
its good……he’s great …. hopefully someday I can carry the torch for Olympics…heheheh
