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.

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.
