There are growing signs The Great One could be the final torchbearer for the Olympics.
Although the identity of the final torchbearer is being kept a secret Wayne Gretzky would be a logical choice since he is arguably the most recognized Canadian athlete. He has also played a role in the last three Winter Olympics.
Number-99 made a promotional appearance in Vancouver yesterday and then was whisked away to avoid reporters.
If Gretzky is chosen as the final torchbearer he would be lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremonies in Vancouver tomorrow.
