Basically, there were four pillars so the four final torchbearers could light the flame at the same time (Bob Costas noted that the concept was "quite Canadian" to spread around the glory of lighting the torch with more than just one person). Unfortunately, only three of the four pillars rose out of the ground and Wayne Gretzky was left standing there confused. Then they raised the three fully to make the big torch and they were lit by the other three torch bearers.
