Despite weather glitch, the Paris Olympics flame is lit at the cradle of ancient games | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis
asahi.com/ajw/articles/15232115
Quick Glance: Paris Olympics Flame Lit in Greek Cradle Amid Weather Challenges
- Despite the absence of Apollo, the flame for the Paris Olympics was ignited at the site of the ancient games in southern Greece on Tuesday.
- A backup flame was used as cloudy skies prevented the traditional lighting, where an actress dressed as an ancient Greek priestess typically uses the sun to ignite a silver torch.
- The flame will be carried by torchbearers from Olympia for over 5000 kilometers through Greece before being handed over to the Paris Games organizers in Athens on April 26.
- The Belem, a French three-masted sailing ship, will transport the Olympic flame from Greece to Marseille, arriving on May 8 after visiting the historic site of Olympia.

He did it! 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook finishes gruelling challenge to run length of Africa
news.sky.com/story/he-did-it-hardest-geezer-russ-cook-finishes-gruelling-challenge-to-run-length-of-africa-13109978
Quick Glance: He Succeeded! 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook Completes Grueling Challenge of Running Length of Africa
- British Russ Cook, self-proclaimed 'Hardest Geezer,' has completed a nearly year-long grueling challenge of running the length of Africa. Starting from the most southern point in South Africa, Cape Agulhas, he finished at Ras Angela, Tunisia, the most northern point of the continent.
- During his journey through 16 countries, Cook faced extreme heat, physical exhaustion, and dangerous situations including armed robbery in Angola and separation from his supporters in the jungle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Utilizing social media, he secured a visa to cross the border from Mauritania into Algeria.
- Cook has raised over £600,000 for two charities and plans a celebration with a performance by the band Soft Play to mark his accomplishments. The funds collected will benefit The Running Charity and Sandblast. Despite Africa being his most significant challenge, it wasn't his first, having previously run from Asia to England.
- The 27-year-old invited his supporters to run the final marathon with him and arranged a finish line party featuring a live performance by Soft Play in Tunisia. Through this challenge, known as Project Africa, Cook not only pushed physical boundaries but also raised substantial funds for charitable causes supporting the mental health of young individuals and educating about Sahrawi culture.
