The Beijing Olympic Games will have 21,880 torchbearers (火炬手) for the torch relay (火炬接力). It
is the biggest in the Games' history. Here let's know about some torchbearers.
◆ Luis Hone, 14, is from Colombia. He lives in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. He moved to China with
his parents as a baby. "I can speak English, Chinese and Spanish. I love China, which has been my world
all my life," he said. "The torch relay is a good chance to improve the understanding between people of the
world."
◆ Sang Lan, 26, will complete the torch relay using her wheelchair. Sang's fingers are not agile (灵活的)
