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.

You want a torch to emit light in a beam, in only one direction. But the bulb in the torch emits light in all directions, the mirror reflects the light going in the wrong direction(towards the inside of the torch) back out the front of the torch making it brighter. It is concave so as to focus the light more.
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
That was Rick Peacock from Worcestershire
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
No, most of what we see reflects light.
