Rod Cantrill, Executive Councillor for Arts, Sport and Public Places met up with young Olympic hopefuls, shooting champion, Anna Rehfisch and fencer, Kristjan Archer to encourage nominations.
The pair are hoping to compete in the 2016 games in Brazil and they joined Cllr Cantrill when the Olympic Torch visited Cambridge at the end of last week.
Residents can nominate anyone who supports them in their lives to carry the torch in the run up to the games next year.
Cllr Cantrill said: “It is really great to see so many people, old and young, getting involved. This event and the whole build-up to the games are important on many levels: it gets everyone interested in all types of sports; it encourages people to achieve their goals and it promotes healthy living and exercise. I would encourage people to nominate anybody that supports them in their life in what ever shape or form to carry the torch next year”
Nominations can be made via www.lloydstsb.com/carrytheflame until September 12.
This is a fantastic opportunity to raise the profile of King's Hedges across the City and highlight the good work that goes on in our community - if you have someone who you'd like to nominate then please make use of the URL, this really will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
