I was in bed when the flame was lit - but I understand it was in the middle of the stadium? How could they put in there and hold the field events?

the joys of Olympic "non" stories, like the drama that they are trying to create when pointing out that certain Welsh and Scottish athletes are not singing the national anthem. WGAS!

Apparently it will be relit today.

Oh dear - Now they'll have to retrace the flame's entire journey, to avoid bad luck and appease the Gods of Olympus or something
