The Chinese way
The torch relay was a tremendous success for Changsha and the Hunan Province in general. The atmosphere was very festive and the Chinese people were strongly nationalistic and proud of hosting the Olympic Games in China, in particular having the torch relay through Changsha. The feeling of actually carrying it was unbelievable. I felt humble to be a part of such a global event and proud to carry forth the Olympic ideals that the flame represents. For me, in particular, this had a special meaning since I was born in Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic ideals and movement.
Participating in the torch relay made me feel like a competitor at the Beijing Olympics. The pictures and videos that I was able to collect from the event will remain forever a reminder of that great day. I felt very privileged to represent ArcelorMittal in one of the countries where we operate and hope in time to have a much more significant presence. Finally, I was proud to have the opportunity to represent my Hunan Valin colleagues at this event.
