BOSTON, MASS.- A 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics torch sold for $231,287 according to Boston-based RR Auction.

The torch, one of just 33 manufactured was used by French wrestler Daniel Robin to light the Olympic cauldron during the closing ceremonies in Grenoble's Le Stade de Glace on February 18, 1968.

Months later, Daniel Robin would go on to win two silver medals at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, in both Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling, becoming the first wrestler to win two silver medals at the same Games.

While Robin considered his World Championship and Olympic medals to be his greatest achievements in wrestling, he looked upon his role as a Grenoble torchbearer as an enormous source of personal pride.

“Any Grenoble torch would stand out as one of the rarest and most sought-after Olympic torches ever made, and their desirability has been heightened by the recent 50th anniversary of the Games,” said Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction. “The use of this particular torch in the closing ceremonies of the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics doubtlessly makes it the finest example in existence.”
