About the Cloud of Promise Olympic torchFor its winning torch design, the “Cloud of Promise,” the Lenovo Innovation Design Center group employed a number of innovative materials and techniques, from precision-machining an aluminum-magnesium alloy into the scroll-shaped curves of the torch body, to using rubberized paint for the first time ever in an Olympic torch to provide the sensation of one hand gripping another.
The official torch lighting will take place in Olympia, Greece, in March 2008. The torch is scheduled to travel to 21 cities in five continents, including London, Paris, San Francisco, Canberra, Mumbai, and Nagano, followed by Hong Kong and Macau. After 97 days in mainland China, it will arrive at its final destination in Beijing on August 8, 2008, marking the start of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games . |
