Despite weather glitch, the Paris Olympics flame is lit at the Greek cradle of ancient games
apnews.com/article/olympics-flame-lighting-greece-6ba355b34a5c6c8e4d037fa00f3b1321
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.
