The cauldron was traditionally lit by an athlete shooting a flaming arrow towards it. The specific individual who shot the arrow to light the flame at each Olympics varies and is typically a notable athlete or a representative from the host country.

Does a heavy arrow or a light arrow have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow?

A heavy arrow will have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow compared to a light arrow. Kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object. Although a heavy arrow may have a lower initial velocity, its greater mass compensates and results in higher kinetic energy than a lighter arrow.
