The part-time photographers were pre-positioned to capture the moment. When the outriders came, followed by the mobile escorts and the Rah-Rah buses .... the stage was set. There weren't much time in-between for any last minute instructions. The "Runners Bus" came and she was all ready to receive the torch for her part in the inaugural YOG Torch relay.

Clarissa-Anne ran the fastest 200m ever, escorted by 3 flame guards/escorts, each encouraging her to run faster. The photographers had little time to re-shoot. One shot and join the run !!!
Her last 20m was captured on video before she pass the torch to runner #3209 from Methodist Girls School.

Almost immediately, she boarded the bus where the rest of the runners were already inside for their next destination @ Serangoon Junior College where they will disperse. The hungry supporters headed to the Heartland Mall for lunch at a HongKong restaurant.

After the dust had settled, the happy runner received her certificate and returned to her lamp post (#3207) for a "must have" shot, before peeling off the sticker as her personal souvenir from the YOG 2010. If she could bring home the lamp post, she probably would. A defining moment before she turn 16 !!!
