Louis Mattei will carry the Olympic torch. This is his story:

A passionate advocate for our planet and a kind soul to those around him, Louis beams with pride about being an Olympic torchbearer. The youngster sees it as a chance to connect with everyone who believes in sports as a path to well-being. A Krav Maga devotee, Louis is a firm believer in the power of physical activity for both the mind and the body. Having been recognised as having a disability since 2014 (mild ASD and requiring a night-time brace), his infectious smile is a testament to the strides being made towards an ever more inclusive society.
