Buenos Aires City Mayor, Mauricio Macri holds the flame and waves at the start of the Olympic Torch relay on April11, 2008 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Two thousand seven hundred police herded the Olympic torch through Buenos Aires. In stark contrast to the trouble seen at the Paris and London relays, there was no major violence as a steely, multi-layered security cordon protected the torch from protesters.
