The archer Antonio Rebollo (ESP) prepares to light the bowl

[PonchoClos]

When it comes to lighting up the Olympic Cauldron, this is the best ever! No other Olympics before and after has been equal to or better than this!

Cathy Freeman's lighting where the cauldron rose from above her at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 was probably the coolest.

This one was awesome too.

This is the BEST, for far, the BEST WAY TO LIGHT ON the olympic fire...

I can´t imagin all the pressure that this guy have in his hands throwing that arrow...

... And when he hit it perfectly, I guess he could feel like Good or something greather...

Impressive.

@escorpianoyque Antonio Robello is also the first and only Para-olympian to ever light the Olympic Cauldron.

This was amazing to watch. A fabulous idea to use the archer. a longbow too - not the contraption they use in the Olympic sport. The one with all the scaffolding on it.
