Flames of Glory – Vancouver Winter Olympic Series

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics have been incredible. One special moment came when OURsceneTV and OlympicsOrBust had the opportunity to interview deaf Olympic torchbearer – J.C. Horton. Surprisingly, J.C. was not the original torchbearer for that section of the torch’s journey. Instead a man named Brian Hill awarded it to him. Hill said that the Olympics “are about pushing yourself to achieve, more than you think possible, despite any obstacles that may come your way.” Hill watched J.C. grow up and was inspired by his determination to overcome whatever stood in his way.  J.C. is 16 years old, love sports and plays junior varsity basketball for Vancouver College.
