No, there is not a summer and a winter olympic torch. There is only one torch. At the first olympic games ever held, the torch was lit, and it will never go out, so it just gets passed on to all of the olympic games that are held.
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.
This was the light. Without electricity back then, the only means for a visible light was to light a torch.

From a flame kindled from the rays of the Sun captured at "Olimpia" in Greece.
Only if the torch is the dominant source of light. Note that the torch would have to be fairly bright to provide enough energy for the sunflower. Also, sunflowers "following" light is a very gradual process, not a simple parlor trick.
It looks the same no matter what country because they try to keep some things the same as they were when only the Greeks had the olympics
The concave mirror helps to reflect and concentrate the light emitted by the bulb in a flashlight. It directs the light forward in a more focused beam, increasing the brightness and distance of the light projected by the flashlight.
That was Rick Peacock from Worcestershire
Placing green plastic over a torch would filter out most of the white light emitted by the torch and only allow green light to pass through. The resulting light beam would appear green-colored and the overall brightness might be slightly reduced due to the filtering effect of the green plastic.
It is not burning real fire. It's fake, it's only a light in some plastic.
ancient Olympia and ONLY ancient OLYMPIA from Greece
