Plans for the Olympic Torch Relay in 2002 are already underway.
The relay has the potential to visit more than 80 cities, cover nearly 14,000 miles and reach a population base of 137-million people over a two month period.
The flame will start in Greece then travel coast-to-coast in the U.S., beginning in December of 2001.
It'll use upwards of 12,000 torchbearers and end in the lighting of the Olympic cauldron in Salt Lake City exactly two years from tomorrow.
