Kelly Chen’s Commemorative Olympic Torch Nearly Snatched Away; Most Beautiful Running Posture

Yesterday, Kelly Chen had the most beautiful running posture as she carried the Olympic torch. She completed her 200 metre run at Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. In the afternoon, she went to the Sha Tin Racecourse for the celebratory function. Emotions were passionately heated. She went around the location holding her torch. She would take pictures with the people in the crowd if they requested it.

Kelly described how exciting and nervous it was to be a torch bearer. She didn’t forget to take pictures and wave to the people before she started her run. During her run, the watching crowd was also very excited. She didn’t see any protesters.

After she finished her run to carry and relay the sacred flame, she went to the Cultural Centre. She took out her commemorative Olympic torch from her box so her fans could take pictures. Suddenly someone’s hand reached out and tried to snatch the torch from her. She became scared and didn’t move. She stared at that person and they stopped. Another person wanted to steal her box and luckily her assistant took back the box. Kelly said: “This is a treasure. It turns out I can’t display it on the streets. My fans told me to leave quickly after they saw what happened.” Kelly said her boyfriend was busy so he couldn’t come out to support her. But her family, friends and fans came out to stake out spots around 6 AM.

Kelly followed the organizer’s rule and tucked her shirt into her shorts. This dampened her fashionable style. She proudly said: “After I arrived at the location, I found that the other torch bearers did not tuck in their shirt. Unfortunately, my shirt was already tucked in so I left it that way.” Kelly said the torch was heavy but not to the point that it was difficult to lift it. The reporter said that Leo Ku had to continuously alternate hands carrying the torch and it appeared that he was juggling it. Kelly said: “Alternate hands? Maybe he wanted to do more poses with the torch.”
