Olympic Torch Relay Now Only “In Country” - Geography Edu Impact?
We did a podcast last year about how the Olympics are a teachable moment for geography. This week came news (NY Times) the IOC has decided to limit the torch relay will be run only in the hosting country from 2014 forward, though both Vancouver and London, the next Winter (2010) and Summer (2012) Game hosts, will arrange in country relays.
While that’s a bit disappointing from a “how the world is put together” standpoint, I’m hoping the media will focus more on the host country’s geography.
