The Olympic Torch

The Olympic flame, or Olympic fire, is carried by the Olympic torch (also called the torch) and burns during the Olympic games in the Olympic brazier or tripod.

The flame is one of the symbols of the Olympic Games. Its origins date back to ancient Greece, when a fire was kept burning during the celebration period of the ancient Olympics. Fire was reintroduced in the 1928 Olympics and has been part of the modern Olympics ceremonial ever since.

Since 1960 the Olympic flame has been lit several months before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, in place of the ancient Olympics, Olympia (Greece).
