John Furlong spoke in Beijing after a meeting with the IOC and said that the torch relay for the Vancouver games would focus on Canada. Stops in Europe on the way from Olympia, Greece, may be considered.
There has never been a global torch relay for the winter olympic games.
The planned Vancouver 2010 torch relay through Canada already involves 1,000 cities, 35,000 km and 200 celebrations over 100 days. About 12,000 runners will carry the flame.
