La Tania apartment owner Paul Mears with the Olympic Flame today.

He is the father of British diver Chris Mears, who in 2009 suffered a serious training accident while competing for Team GB at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney.

Paul maintained a bedside vigil, together with his wife Katy. Chris was placed in intensive care and diagnosed with a ruptured spleen. He has made a full recovery and will compete at the 2012 Games in the 3m Springboard and 3m Synchro (with Nick Robinson-Baker).
