Michael Cambanis, the Greek ambassador to China, will be the No. 3 torchbearer to relay the Olympic flame from his homeland Greece in Jingzhou city on Monday, the last segment in central China's Hubei Province.

The 61-year-old ambassador is scheduled to deliver the flame on the Nine Dragon Bridge connected the ancient city walls with the modern city. Zheng Lihui, who claimed men's gymnastics team gold at Sydney Olympics, will open the relay as the first torchbearer of Jingzhou leg.

The torch carriers also include world weightlifting champion Guan Hong and Chinese actress Zeng Li.

The 18.6-kilometer relay completed with 208 torchbearers will start from the Golden Phoenix Square and pass through the ancient city walls, several roads and parks, and finally end at Shalongda Square.
