The Olympic flame is ignited after having passed the torch from one runner to the next over the course of the months prior to the Olympics. The final bearer touches the torch to the cauldron to start the ceremony. The FIRST torch is lit using the rays of the sun concentrated by a parabolic mirror- at the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece.
A torch is held in the middle of a curved mirror that is faced towards the sun. The heat generated from the sun in the mirror ignites fuel within the torch and the flame is lit.
