Tibetan woman 'so proud' to carry torch for 3rd time in 18 yrs

In 1990, a 14-year-old Tibetan girl lit a flame at the foot of Mount Tangula, to start the torch relay for the Beijing Asian Games.

Eighteen years later, Dawa Yangzong will today run a leg of the Olympic torch relay in her hometown of Lhasa.

"To be honest, I had no idea about the Asian Games or the Olympics when I lit the torch 18 years ago," Dawa Yangzong, who is now the mother of a 7-year-old boy, said.
