  • holy shit they had to carry it over everist?

  • rofl torch doesnt light because of the wind and lack of oxygen :D

  • niccce! however china is not the greatest I like denali/mt. mckinley much better

  • To climb the Mount Evrest during a bad Weather... seems a quite impossible task for human beings... Normally you end dead... It 's certainly the most incredible exploit of mountain climbing ;)

  • Vive la Chine!

  • Oh my God!!! Those chineese think they own the olympics now that they are hosting it this year, their human rights record is a disgrace, they should concentrate on not killing thousands of people every year through the death penality instead of running up everest with the olympic flame !

  • so touch.

  • Congratulations. But I bet some of you torch-carriers will be ashamed of participating, looking back. If you dont see it now, you will.

  • CHINA GREATEST!

  • Great China!
