Bombardier Selected for Torch

The Canadian firm Bombardier, best known throughout the world for their transit systems and regional jet aircraft, has been selected to design and build the Olympic Torches that will be used in the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays.

The selected torch design will be unveiled early next year.

Twelve-thousand Canadians will carry the torch over 35,000 kilometres - the longest single-country relay - bringing it through up to 1,000 communities in over 100 days.
