Olympic Flame

The Olympic Flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games, representing peace, purity, and the enduring spirit of competition.

Today, the flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, and then carried by relay through various locations to the host city, showcasing unity and continuity. The flame's journey highlights cultural connections and international cooperation, culminating in its final ignition at the opening ceremony, signaling the start of the Games. It remains lit throughout the event, symbolizing the enduring Olympic ideals and the passion for athletic excellence.
