The Olympic torch is commonly referred to as the “Olympic Flame”. This torch is a symbol of the Olympic Games and represents peace, unity, and friendship among nations.
The tradition of the Olympic torch relay began in the 1936 Berlin Games and has continued ever since. The flame is ignited at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece, before being transported to the host city of the upcoming Games. The journey of the flame involves a relay of torchbearers who carry the torch across various terrains, showcasing the spirit of the Games.
The design of the torch may vary for each Olympics, but it always embodies the essence and values of the Olympic movement, serving as a reminder of the ancient Greek origins of the Games.
