The Olympic torch relay for the 2012 London Games will be confined to Britain, organisers confirmed on Friday. The past two summer Olympics have seen the torch taken on a world tour, but the experiment, started for the Athens Games in 2004, has now been scrapped.
Torch relay will now be confined to inside the boundaries of host countries.
