Who lit the cauldron at the 1994 Winter Olympics opening ceremony?

Haakon Magnus lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony of the 1994 Winter Olympics. The ceremony took place on 12 February 1994 at Lysgårdsbakken in Lillehammer, Norway.

Haakon Magnus, then Crown Prince of Norway, received the honor after the Olympic flame was carried down the ski jump. The original plan had been for ski jumper Ole Gunnar Fidjestøl to perform that role, but an injury during a practice jump forced a change. His substitute, Stein Gruben, delivered the flame to the ceremony.

The cauldron lighting formed part of a distinctly Norwegian opening celebration. The program featured Sami joik, Telemark skiing, folk dancing, traditional wedding scenes, and figures from Norse mythology. King Harald V officially declared the Games open, while Haakon Magnus performed the separate act of lighting the cauldron.

The names in this question can be confusing because Sonja was Norway's queen, Harald V was the king, and Olav V was the late former king. None of them lit the cauldron at Lillehammer; that role belonged to Crown Prince Haakon Magnus.
