Is the Paralympic torch relay different for the Olympics?
Olympic torch-bearers, nominated by sponsors of the Olympic games, carry the Olympic flame from its source, in Athens, to the main stadium, using a series of gas-filled Olympic torches, much like a relay race. Each torch-bearer is given their own Olympic torch (which they keep) which is lit by the Olympic flame carried by the previous torch-bearer. To preserve the flame's continuity, the Olympic flame is carried in special safety-lamps while travelling by air or sea. Once at the main stadium, during the opening ceremony, the final torch-bearer lights the Olympic beacon which remains lit throughout the games. The Olympic flame is therefore the flame itself, while the Olympic torches are the receptacles that carried the flame from Athens to the main stadium.
When is the Olympic torch coming to the Falkirk wheel?
They time the running of the torch from Greece to the Olympic venues so that the torch is carried into the main stadium at the end of the opening ceremonies and the big flame in the stadium is lit by the torch.

The majority of venues have been divided into three zones within Greater London: the Olympic Zone, the River Zone and the Central Zone. In addition to these are those venues that, by necessity, are outside the boundaries of Greater London. The Olympic Zone will encompass all of the facilities within the 500 acre (2 km²) Olympic Park in Stratford. The River Zone will feature five main venues in the Thames Gateway area straddling the River Thames. The Central Zone will be formed out of all the remaining venues within Greater London. They are quite widely spread across central and West London: The sailing events for the Olympics will be held at the Weymouth and Portland international sailing academy The earlier stages of the football competition will be played at football stadia around the United Kingdom including: * Hampden Park in Glasgow * Millennium Stadium in Cardiff * Old Trafford in Manchester * St James' Park in Newcastle * Villa Park in Birmingham * National Football Stadium in Belfast
