Sean "P.Diddy" Combs will be one of several people to carry the Olympic torch when it passes through New York City later this month. The torch is on its way to Athens, Greece, bound for the start of the summer Olympic Games. The torch will move through each of New York’s five boroughs, pass the site of the World Trade Centers, across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Statue of Liberty. "Words cannot express how proud I am to be carrying the Olympic torch for my home, New York, N.Y., the greatest city in the world," he said. The Olympic flame left Greece on Wednesday on a worldwide tour and diplomats from 27 nations gathered at Greece’s new airport to bid the flame farewell, as it embarked on a 38-day tour. Others who will carry the torch include CNN anchor Paula Zahn, a woman burned during the September 11 terror attacks, a Central Park rape victim and several athletes. The torch will return to Athens for the opening ceremonies August 13.
