Elyse Jarvis (Australia) sent in this article about the man who lit the Olympic flame, Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima.

De Lima lost several seconds before a local in the crowd helped pull Horan off him, but the damage was done.

2 Bonus points to Elyse for this great article! In the spirit of goodwill in the Olympics, I am going to do a random drawing for 5 bonus points gifted to Isaac Blois (Trinidad and Tobago) from Elyse (Australia).
