The Olympic flame is lit
Update: 2025-11-26
Description
The Olympic flame was lit today, beginning its long relay from Greece to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. But due to cloudy weather, the flame had to be lit from a back-up blaze set earlier in the week, as the Olympic flame can only be lit by power harnessed from the sun. Philip Barker is the editor of the Journal of Olympic History. He joins The World's Host Carolyn Beeler from Ancient Olympia.
