Crown Prince Haakon, heir apparent to the throne of Norway.
The Crown Prince's father and grandfather took part in the Olympics. His grandfather, Crown Prince Olav (the future King Olav V from 1957-1991), won a gold medal in sailing at the 1928 Summer Games in Amsterdam. His father, Crown Prince Harald and current King Harald V (1991), represented Norway in sailing at the 1964, 1968, and 1972 Summer Games.
The cauldron at the 1992 Summer Olympics was lit by archer Antonio Rebollo who shot a flaming arrow into the cauldron to ignite it.
At the 1952 Oslo Olympics, Eigil Nansen lit the first-ever Winter Olympics cauldron.
Not certain on the exact answer, but back in the 1952 Oslo Olympics a flame was lit in the town of Morgedal, Norway (the Nordic flame). It was this flame that lit the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony. This event also occurred prior to the 1980 Olympics (Lake Placid) and also before the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer). However at the 1994 Olympics the Nordic flame was combined with the Olympic flame and lit the Olympic cauldron. So at the 1980 Winter Olympics they may have used these two flames to light separate cauldrons persumably as a symbolic act of rememberance to the Nordic games which pre-dated the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympic flame in 1952 (Italy) was lit from the eternal flame in Rome. Since 1994 only the Olympic flame has been used in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics mainly due to the fact that the Olympic relays have gone straight from Greece to the host country.
Wayne Gretzky
Two cauldrons were lit with the Olympic Flame at the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics because the Olympics had also been held there in 1964.
Wayne Gretzky!!
Wayne Gretzy lit the torch at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
In the 2010 opening ceremony in Vancouver, Wayne Gretzky lit the outside cauldron.
The flame is lit wherever the games are. Right now in Vancouver, in two years it will be in London.
No one
It is extinguished at the closing ceremony of each Olympic Games. The torch is initially lit, by the Sun's rays that are concentrated by a mirror, at a ceremony in Olympia, Greece several months in advance of an Olympics. The relay then takes the torch to the site of the Olympics where the cauldron is lit with it.
Li Ning is the athlete that did light the 2008 cauldron in Beijing.
