Hume in torch relay
PA Seoul The swimmer Sylvia Hume will be the New Zealand representative in the final stages of the Olympic torch relay. . . Her name was drawn from a hat containing the names of one of the “lesser known” athletes from each section of the Olympic team, said the New Zealand manager, Bruce Ullrich. Each country had been asked to provide one athlete for the torch relay which culminates with the final runner lighting the Olympic flame at the opening of the Games on Saturday. With the canoeist lan Ferguson named to carry the New Zealand flag at the opening and Aucklander Hume in the torch relay the only other "honorary” post to be filled is flag bearer at the closing on October 2. Ferguson will not defend the KI 500 m title he won at the Los Angeles Olympics. Paul MacDonald, who beat him in a recent race in Europe, will take his spot.
