  • HI! im a torchbearer and am doing a presentation about the torch relay. do you know where i can get a copy of this video? i tried taking this one off the web but its too blurry!

  • @MrSchedules Hello there, this video is the only one around, I don't think you can download it anywhere. However, if you want, I could send you the original video file via email if you wish to send me your email address in a private message. But the quality of this video on YouTube is the best you're going to get. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

  • This was effectively the unofficial song and video for VANOC staff members. We watched this during our induction and it came up at different intervals.

    I am such a pussy, I don't even try to hold the tears back anymore when I watch this video.

    I have had the best, most amazing 12 months of my life working on the Olympics and this tune will always remain close to my heart and serve as a reminder of my time in Vancouver and with VANOC.

  • Great story! The whole point of this video was to start the water works without even really caring. The Olympics was something that brought all Canadians alike together. I have signed up as a volunteer at London 2012 'cause I've heard so much great stuff about Vancouver 2010 Volunteering. Thanks for watching!

  • That's bull that people were making a serious fuss over this video.

    The first time I watched it, and nearly every time after, I get weepy cause it's SO powerful.

  • I agree with you 100% Matt!

  • fuck who gives a shit if those clips are in it. i bet half of you wouldnt have recognized them anyways without being told what they were from. get over it. the torch is a great tradition!!!!

  • the Nazis were the ones who brought back the torch relay, are we just supposed to forget our past? or pretend like it didn't happen?

  • @quiksilverrules14 If you read the history of Canada ask the Jews of that time who were sent back to Germany by Canada and then talk about Canada's multiculteral makeup> There is nothing wrong with including that footage of the first relay even though it was in Germany, they started the tradidtion and should be recognized for it. I am the son of WW2 airman and grandson of a WW1 soldier.

  • I was a torchbearer and they showed this video on the shuttle bus before we ran with the torch. It was really inspirational and I loved it. Plus I love the song it's so beautiful and inspirational. I really like this video =)

  • @pdautg That would be great!

  • hey when was this video made, if you know by any chance because I need tto site this video for my school Social Studies FAIR Thanks

  • the most extraordinary thing out of this torch relay i accomplished was the PEOPLE..the fans were awesome....in the early hours of the morning...thousands came out of no where. the BEST experience i had so far.

  • Nothing wrong with Coldplay Polishaisdown. I wonder if London will produce a promotional video for their Olympics featuring inspiring music from

    Canada.
