The Olympic Flame

The Olympic Flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games, representing peace, unity, and friendship among nations. It is lit at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece, using sunlight and a parabolic reflector to capture rays. The flame then travels to the host city of the upcoming Games, carried by a relay of torchbearers. During the Opening Ceremony, the flame is placed in a cauldron, where it burns throughout the Games. Its presence signifies the spirit of competition and sportsmanship, reminding us of the values of respect and excellence.
