The Flaming Torch


The Olympic flame started at the ancient Olympic games which was in Olympia, Greece.The first touch was ignited by the sun. In the closing of the Olympic games they were putting the flames out.

Nowadays, the tradition continues, 4 months until the Olympic games women were dressed in ancient style robes these women were lighting the touch just by using a curved mirror and the sun. When the torch was lit the women passed it to the runner and it keeps on going until they get to host city.


The most important thing about the opening ceremony is lighting the flames.It burns for two weeks until the Olympic games have concluded.
