Baton bearers

Baton bearers are individuals who carry a symbolic baton during a ceremonial relay, often representing unity, tradition, or achievement. In major events like the Commonwealth Games or Olympic relays, they deliver the baton from one participant to another, sometimes over long distances. The baton itself often contains a message, emblem, or technology that signifies the event's significance. Baton bearers can include athletes, dignitaries, or community members chosen for their contribution or symbolism, emphasizing international cooperation, cultural pride, or the celebration of sports and humanity.
