The final torchbearers for the Greek relay will be two veteran athletes: Greek weightlifter and three-time Olympic gold medalist Pyrros Dimas - who was elected a Socialist member of Parliament last Sunday - and former Chinese gymnastics champion Li Ning.
From Greece, the flame will travel to Britain for a 70-day torch relay covering a further 12,800 km across the UK.
