The torch will end up at London's Olympic Ceremony for the July 27 opening ceremony. It will burn brightly until the competitions end on August 12. Ironically, it's not even guaranteed that David will be selected for a soccer spot on Great Britain's team. Sebastian Coe, London 2012 chairman, told reporters the committee didn't put pressure on the coach to select the soccer stud. "He has to pick the team he thinks can lift the trophy."
