“The Olympic Torch represents the journey for excellence, and we are honored to have the opportunity to host and contribute to the Beijing Olympic Journey of Harmony. Here in San Francisco, we are on our own journey for a sustainable future. This is our chance to showcase how local innovation and excellence — in fitness, environmental initiatives and sustainable business practices — can be examples for the world.”
SF Mayor Gavin Newsom
