Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci part of London Olympics torch relay
Comaneci handed the torch to John Amaechi on the roof of North Greenwich Arena, which will host the gymnastics and basketball competitions during the Olympics. Comaneci and former basketball player Amaechi performed a 'torch kiss' – passing the flame from one torch to the other.
The Olympic torch arrived in London on Friday evening and was kept in the Tower of London, near the Olympic medals and the Crown jewelery.
The London Olympics will start on July 27.
