Football star Drogba joins Olympic torch relay
Didier Drogba, fresh from Chelsea's European Cup triumph, ran with the Olympic torch on Wednesday as it continued its journey around the UK. Thousands cheering for Didier Drogba have mobbed the Olympic torch relay route in southwest England, hoping to get a glimpse of the Cote d'Ivoire striker as he carried the flame.
Dressed all in white, the 34-year-old striker waved as he trotted along with the torch.

Many fans, some wearing Chelsea blue jerseys, cheered as their hero ran through the center of Swindon. Drogba jogged for 300 metres along the route before handing over the torch to the next bearer.
He has announced he was quitting Chelsea just days after they won over Bayern Munich last Saturday.
