Highlights from Sochi Olympic torch relay trip around Moscow. Part 1

The Olympic torch relay departed Moscow on its fourth day, completing a highlight-filled trip around the Russian capital. Here are some highlights from the first few days of the Olympic torch relay:

Several Olympic medalists were part of the Moscow leg, including gymnast Svetlana Khorkina and figure skater Irina Slutskaya.

Khorkina, a seven-time Olympic medalist, was reportedly recently robbed on the streets of Moscow. But she was in great spirits after carrying the torch earlier this week.

“I had those nostalgic feeling as if I were standing on the Olympic podium again – I had three Olympics in my career,” Khorkina told Voice of Russia. “I can compare the ceremony to receiving an Olympic gold, though the only difference is that the medal is all mine while the symbolic Olympic flame belongs to the whole world.”
