Changing room chat: Centenarian to be Olympic torchbearer

A 100-YEAR-OLD grandmother will be one of the torchbearers carrying the Olympic flame through the streets of London when it arrives in the capital in July.

Dinah Gould, who will be a centenarian by the time she walks a 30m leg, was one of 7,300 torchbearers named by organisers yesterday. Gould, who prefers to use Diana as her first name and remembers the 1948 London Games, put her fitness down to yoga and chocolate. “I’m a chocoholic and good health is in my genes – my mother lived until she was 102,” she explained.
