Football Legend Carlos Valderrama and documentary maker Guillermo Prieto "Pirry" were selected to represent Colombia in the Olympic Torch Relay running a double leg in Windsor.


 

Pibe_and_Pirry_-_WindsorAs crowds packed the streets of the Berkshire town to watch the Olympic Flame on July 10 2012, Pirry run the first 300 metres along Arthur Road to be received by football star Carlos Valderrama who smiled and waved at delighted crowds as he jogged with the torch to reach Windsor Castle where later that afternoon Her Majesty the Queen welcomed the Olympic flame.
