Who lit the flame at the 2010 Olympics?

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?

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.
