Should have used CMAW millwrights

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP)--The Olympic cauldron has been lit to open the XXI Winter Games.

One of the cauldron lights didn't work, however, so only three of the final torchbearers actually lit the flame.

The final torchbearers were hockey great Wayne Gretzky, NBA All-Star Steve Nash, skier Nancy Greene and speedskater Catriona LeMay Doan, who was stuck posing and holding her torch.

The Olympic sports competitions begin Saturday and run through Feb. 28.
