2012 Olympic torch design unveiled: nominate a torchbearer!

London 2012 head Sebastian Coe and Gold-Medal winner Denise Lewis showcase prototypes of the London 2012 Olympic Torch to be carried by 8,000 inspirational Torchbearers. The winning design connects the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay to each of the 8,000 Torchbearers and their community. The Torch's triangular, gold-coloured form is perforated by 8,000 circles representing the 8,000 Torchbearers and their stories of personal achievement and/or contribution to their local community which will be celebrated during the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay.
