it lasts a whole 24 hours

the torch runners walk half way, ride the plane a bit, (including ships) and carries the torch to the Olympic ceremony by walking ,at last.
The olympic torch represents the theft of fire from Zeus by Prometheus the giant. It also might represent a relay run in the late Ancient Olympics in which a team of runners passed a torch between them and the last runner lit a huge torch. It is a tradition to light the flame at the beginning of all Modern Olympics.
Cathy Freeman was one the last torch bearers in the 2000 Olympics opening ceremony in Sydney, Australia. Australia is her home country. I'm sure officials wanted to showcase an Aborijane who did good and show that the world. Freeman went on to win a Gold Medal later on in the Olympics.
When you look upstairs you just press the torch in numerical order, so althogh it reads, 4,1,2,3!! you press the second torch (1) first then the third torch (2) second then the fourth torch (3) third and the first torch (4) last.
The Olympics usually last for 17 days.
the last Olympics were in 2008.
