MOSCOW -- Sochi organizers have presented the torch that will carry the Olympic flame on its six-month journey through Russia ahead of next years Winter Games. The torch was displayed in Moscow on Monday by two Russian ice dancers: 2002 Olympic silver medallist Ilia Averbukh and 2006 Olympic gold medallist Tatiana Navka. They also modeled the uniform that will be worn by 14,000 torchbearers through 2,900 cities and towns during the relay, which begins on Oct. 7. The torch design is intended to recall the feather of the Firebird, a magic fairy-tale creature. The aluminum torch weighs nearly 1.8 kilograms (4 pounds) and is nearly a meter (3 feet) high.

The Stamps meet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday at Ivor Wynne Stadium in a CFL match-up featuring the first meeting between veteran quarterbacks who switched spots in the off-season. Watch it live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7pm et/4pm pt. But Glenn doesnt think his familiarity with Ivor Wynne will give him much of an advantage over Ticat pivot Henry Burris – the man for whom he was traded. "He (Burris) still has the crowd behind him," said Glenn, 33, who left Hamilton as a starting quarterback only to join Calgary as the back-up to Drew Tate. But when Tate went down with a shoulder injury earlier this season, Glenn was back at the helm. "You know (the crowds) going to come out and theyre going to boo me," he said. "You know theyre going to get loud and try to disrupt the offence. Thats what they do. But at the same time, I think its going to be a good game . . . Once we cross those lines, Im the enemy now. It doesnt matter if Ive played here before. But its all gonna be in fun." Glenn came to Hamilton in 2009, leading them to 27 victories in his three years – including playoff appearances in all three years and a spot in the Eastern Final last year. But Hamilton sent him to Calgary for Burris, who had struggled for the Stamps and had been replaced at starting QB by Tate. Both men deny they have anything to prove, nor any scores to settle. Glenn currently has a 70.3 per cent completion rate for 1,108 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions. Burris has a 69.7 per cent completion rate for 1,540 yards, 15 TDs and three interceptions. Calgary has a 2-3 record, last in the West, and is coming off a bye week (as are the Ticats) which they hope has put enough distance between themselves and a 34-8 drubbing they took from the B.C. Lions back on July 28. So Glenn said the game has much more significance for him than just meeting his old teammates.dddddddddddd "Its getting back to .500," he said. "Its getting a win on the road. Coming off a bye week trying to establish some momentum for the rest of the season. Theres a lot of things at stake, but the most important thing is coming in here and getting a win against a good football team. Hamiltons playing very good football right now, so we want to make sure that we come out with that same intensity and get a win." Meanwhile, the Ticats have a 3-2 record atop the East standings and are trying to extend a three-game win streak, their last victory coming in Saskatchewan with a thrilling come-from-behind 35-34 result. "Execution is the focus," said Burris when asked about his first game against Calgary since the trade, a team for whom he played a total of 10 years, including the previous seven. "The relationship that many of us have with (Calgary) . . . theres a lot more riding on (the game), but the bottom line is its all about doing what we can to get a victory, and thats what our focus is. "We want to continue to play in the area, in the zone, that were in and were just focused more on what we have to do. Theres going to be a lot of bickering and talking out there. Thats just what friends do. But it feels better if you can do what it takes to get a victory." New Hamilton head coach George Cortez also spent several years in Calgary, most recently from 2007 to 2009 as offensive co-ordinator. But while he and Calgary coach John Hufnagel are good friends who frequently keep in touch, there was no communication between the men this past week as they readied for battle. And Cortez was downplaying any extra significance to the meeting. "Its the next game, which makes it the most important game," he said. "Its good after the game to see people that you know. But as far as emotions, its not the Grey Cup. Its a regular-season game and all those games are about the same."
