Olympic torch too heavy

[Toad]

Hailed as a masterpiece of design and technology and created by Italy's top engineers, there's just one problem with the torch for this year's Winter Olympics in Turin. Many of the torchbearers say it is too heavy (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1676234,00.html).
At nearly 2 kilos (4.4lb), runners carrying the aluminium torch in relay across Italy to the opening ceremony say it is difficult to hold aloft for long.

That's a cool-looking torch.
