Thousands on Facebook want Betty Fox to light the 2010 Olympic flame

[touraccuracy]

have you ever won an olympic gold medal?

so what if nobody here has ran a marathon consecutively for a week, we can still share out opinions as to who should be chosen to light the torch. it should be an olympic athlete, since these are the olympics. not a summer olympic athlete, not a paralympic athlete, not a runner, not a a friend of a winter olympic athlete, or a brother or sister of an olympic athlete, not the parents of an olympic athlete, and certainly not the mother of a non-olympic athlete that died decades ago.
