The Olympic Flame Passes Through India

The olympic flame made its way to the capital of India, New Delhi. It was passed on the streets by runners today, from person to person. The sad thing was that there were more celibrities and politicians who were carrying the flame than actual and past and current athletes. The only saving grace was a bunch of cricketers but that is not an olympic event. As Milkha Singh (the flying sikh) said, the flame should have only been carried by athletes who have or will participate in the olympics and all the celebrities who wanted to participate could have run with them. It would have been the right thing to do. I cannot agree more. As always, the politicians and celebs in the country have diluted the significance of this historic event.
