The torch is on its way

On July 12, the Olympics 2012 torch reached day 55 at iconic Stonehenge as Olympian Michael Johnson carried the flame through Wiltshire which is located eight miles north of Salisbury in England.

The 400m world record holder and gold medallist looked regal as he stood in front of the famous rock formation about two weeks prior to the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games during the final leg of the 70-day relay that covered 8,000 miles in the UK with 8,000 torchbearers participating.
