name the final male torchbearer in the 1976 Oly games. Makes some sense - probably more irony.

Stéphane Préfontaine

no offense, but that's such common knowledge that it doesn't qualify as trivia. Now the name of the woman who was with him..... (but no, I don't know the answer)

google assisted additions

both Préfontaine and Henderson were track 'runners' with the former being touted as 'up and coming'. He had aspirations of running @ the '84 Olys but injury prevented

it was reported that they become romantically involved and later married - not true

Préfontaine was part of the torchbearers in route at a later Olympics

coulldn't find any performance marks for either

thats more than you ever wanted to know
