Fun fact(s):
For the first time an entire team, the gold-medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team lit the Olympic cauldron.
The elements of the torch all have meaning - glass: winter and ice; old silver: the West and running water; shiny silver: the heart and speed of the athletes; and copper: fire, passion, and the history of Utah.
