The Olympic flame is ignited after having passed the torch from one runner to the next over the course of the months prior to the Olympics. The final bearer touches the torch to the cauldron to start the ceremony. The FIRST torch is lit using the rays of the sun concentrated by a parabolic mirror- at the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece.
They faced the humilation of protesters trying to put out the torch over an invation of Tibet. Kind of useless becaus it just a fire on a torch. The protesters are quite dim. If the fire goes out, the torch relay people will just relight it.
the Olympic torch stands for the sighns of peace, purity and reson when lighted the torch will travel from the last Olimpic games to the next and will go into a bigger toch then the big flame will never get put out until the games are done then it will start all over again
They tested the torch over and over so it can still burn in snow, rain, etc. It can still be burning even if you drop it.
The torch relay has now finished - since the games have already started. There were 8,000 individuals carrying the torch in relay, over a distance of 8,000 miles.
every torch relay is different! this year (vancouver 2010 torch relay) the flame traveld 45, 000 km in over 106 days! making it way around the highest and the lowest point of canada!
This is not suprising and is very obvious but is actually the Olympic torch
