A statement about the secret identity of the person who will light the Olympic flame:
" 'And I have gone to bed and woke up every day for the last 90 days praying I wouldn't see it on the front page of the papers.' "
No medals for grammar here!
"I have gone to bed ... and woke?" This should be "and woken": "I have woken up."
