Jump to around the 4.30 mark to see how they lit the Olympic torch back in Barcelona twenty years ago. Even if Danny Boyle lights the flame from a massive heroin needle pushed by the cast of Trainspotting with the London Philharmonic playing 'Lust For Life' tomorrow night, it won't top this. But it got us thinking about firestunts in sport. Would you rate this bow and arrow trick over what Seán Óg Ó hAilpin did at the launch of the 2005 Cork City of Culture when he shot a flaming sliotar at a massive serpent on the Lee? There's no youtube footage, but check out the photo below - it's pretty badass. I'm with Séan Óg.
