Not certain on the exact answer, but back in the 1952 Oslo Olympics a flame was lit in the town of Morgedal, Norway (the Nordic flame). It was this flame that lit the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony. This event also occurred prior to the 1980 Olympics (Lake Placid) and also before the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer). However at the 1994 Olympics the Nordic flame was combined with the Olympic flame and lit the Olympic cauldron. So at the 1980 Winter Olympics they may have used these two flames to light separate cauldrons persumably as a symbolic act of rememberance to the Nordic games which pre-dated the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympic flame in 1952 (Italy) was lit from the eternal flame in Rome. Since 1994 only the Olympic flame has been used in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics mainly due to the fact that the Olympic relays have gone straight from Greece to the host country.

It is lit at the end of the opening ceremony.
Hi. The Torch - is lit by the rays of the sun at the temple Hetra in Greece. The rays are shinned into a mirror and the flame ignites. After a long relay(sometimes taking over two months or longer) the Flame arrives in the Host City the Day of or Before the Opening Ceremony, and then taken to the cauldron where the Flame will burn till the closing ceremony and then will be extinguished.
"You have lit" can be correct usage, as in: "Once the flame appears, you have lit the candle."
