What is the Olympic torch made of?

Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch bearer team for Mount Everest.?

• We know that for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, a team of torch bearers, comprising of mountaineers, will carry the Olympic torch to the top of Mount Everest. How many torch bearers are there for this Everest Torch bearer team? Besides Wang Yongfeng, leader of the Chinese Mountaineering Team, who can name all the torch bearers for the Everest Torch team?

• Answer:

  Organizers of the 2008 Olympic Games say the upcoming torch relay will be the longest in Olympic history. It will be quite expensive, too. With a price tag of up to US $2.6 million, 21,880 torchbearers will take part during the 130-day journey that covers a distance of 85,000 miles over five continents, including the run up Mount Everest. When the flame arrives in China on March 31, 2008, two torches will be lit. One is slated to travel through the Chinese provinces, while the other will go to the foot of Mt. Qomolangma (Mount Everest. The promise to "take the Olympic Flame to new heights" was the icing on the cake when China bid for the Olympic Games.) As the torch makes its final ascent to the top of Everest, the domestic relay in the provinces will be suspended -- International Olympic Committee rules forbids passing two Olympic flames at the same time -- and, in what is sure to be a "must-see TV" moment, the Olympic torch will arrive on the summit of Mount Everest -- with the accompanying Olympic Fanfare. Afterward, the flame will travel back to Lhasa and rejoin the flame of the domestic relay then head to Beijing for the Opening Ceremony in August. but I cant name the torch bearers sorry
