"Three pro-Tibet protesters climbed the suspension cables of the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday to protest the coming arrival of the Beijing Olympics torch relay in San Francisco. Three people protesting China's human rights record and the impending arrival of the Olympic torch climbed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on Monday and tied Tibetan flags and two banners to its cables.(Paul Sakuma/Associated Press) The protesters, tethered together on suspension cables halfway up the bridge, unfurled two giant banners reading "One World, One Dream" and "Free Tibet 'O8" — a play on the official slogan of the Beijing Games. One of the climbers also displayed a Tibetan flag." http://www.cbc.ca/sports/amateur/story/2008/04/07/paris-torch.html

The Olympic flame was extinguished three times in the French capital
