The Olympic Torch by will_wooderson

The Olympic Torch

The Olympic Torch came through town today - in the right hand of a fast sprinting man (so I barely caught him on camera before he disappeared round the corner).
The athletics are of particular interest to me as my grandfather, Sydney Wooderson, was a famous runner in his time and held the world mile record (at just over 4 minutes 6 seconds) for about five years.
Shamefully, however, I do not have the desire to go running myself!
Love this capture!

@ruthmouch @myautofocuslife @kerristephens @aleksandra It was fun to see - for the full three seconds he was visible before he went round the corner! "We are the champions" by Queen was played at top volume at the same time... @houdiniem Oh bad luck! @johnnyfrs You were there in the crowd? You're the mysterious guy I never seem to meet!

How exciting! Love how you tied in the picture of the festivities with a bit of family history.
