Before the opening ceremonies of the 2010
Vancouver Olympics, Canadians were
wondering who would light the flame?
It had to be a great Canadian hero. But we
were all wrong. It was four of our
greatest athletes.
These are Canadians who lit the fire in the stadium:
1. Nancy Greene
2. Steve Nash
3. Catriona Le May Doan
4. Wayne Gretsky
These are their sports:
a) Basketball
b) Downhill skiing
c) Hockey
d) Speed skating
Now, can you match the sport and the superstar?
Look in "comments" below for the answer. Also, for some great photos of the opening ceremonies, press here.

Answer: Gretzky/hockey. He is presently a coach/part owner for the Phoenix Coyotes in the US. Greene/skiing. She owns a ski resort out west. Nash/basketball. Like Gretsky, he is small in size for his sport, but is superior in understanding the game. He plays guard for the US team, Phoenix Suns. Doan/speedskating. She's a double gold winner! Speedskating is less popular in Canada and Doan has done a lot to promote this sport.
