Juggling Olympic fire on tall unicyles

Tomorrow I will rehearsal for the start-event of the Olympics of the national teams of The Netherlands.
And yes, I will enlight the Olympic fire with my juggling torches while unicycling!
I will do this together with youth circus de Acrobaat (link will be live after 05:00 GMT).

The event will be hosted by Yvonne van Gennip.
In 1988 she won triple gold with her 3 world records in Calgary (and more medals in other years).
Afterwards (back in Haarlem) she did trow pie in my face.
Which appeared front page on many big national newspapers.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow I will meet the Prince of Holland, who's member of the board of the National Olympic Committee.
And -who knows- Dutchman Hein Verbruggen, main man of the UCI, and de main initiator for making mountain biking and BMX Olympic disciplines.

Back to the event; many performers have weird habits.
Like for example Paul from Germany, who drinks a bottle of pop in his diabolo performance, and never (seems to) return the opener.
And so do I; my habit (since the beginning I've started performing with fire) is that I never bring a lighter...
So I think this is going to be fun.
The final event will be next friday.

Have a look at TV programs like studio sport, NOVA, Jeugdjournaal, etc.

Why?
After returning from Calgary, she received a extreme large pie. She wanted to shear it with 60 to 80.000 people, and start throwing it. I was right next to the first bingo, my glasses full of whiped cream.
