The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The fire was introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, and it has been part of the modern Olympic Games ever since. In contrast to the Olympic flame proper, the torch relay of modern times, which transports the flame from Greece to the various designated sites of the games, had no ancient precedent and was introduced by Carl Diem at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
The Olympic Torch today is ignited several months before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece. Eleven women, representing the Vestal Virgins, perform a celebration at the Temple of Hera in which the torch is kindled by the light of the Sun, its rays concentrated by a parabolic mirror. The torch briefly travels around Greece via short relay, and then starts its transfer to the host city after a ceremony in the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens.

There's a whole bunch of people out there who seem to think that the rapidly approaching 2016 Olympics are going to totally suck based on a number of factors, like the outbreak of the Zika virus in the home country (Brazil), the host city's (Rio de Janeiro) declaration of financial emergency, and police at a local airport who told incoming tourists they're on their own if they run into trouble. All that being said, the above video shows a guy in Joinville, Brazil, sprinting up to a runner carrying the Olympic flame and trying his best to put it out with a fire extinguisher. The footage can be seen as a metaphor, depending on your outlook on life, of either the impending trainwreck that you think the events will be or of proof that no amount of chaos can ruin the spirit of the Olympics.

Subscribe!: https://goo.gl/g41dn0 In this minecraft tutorial I teach you how to build a working Olympic Torch that can be used to officially kick off your own Olympic Games or server competitions! This Redstone design works with a simple press of a button! All you need to do is load the dispenser with fire charges, press the button, and your torch will be lit along with an awesome sound effect! It even has a button on the back to put out the flame so you can have a proper end to your games, or even light the Olympic Torch all over again! You could incorporate this into an Olympic Park or and server-wide competition, but it can also be used for other means as well. Maybe you want a unique way to light up your base? Or how about using it as a final touch to an epic wall? Maybe even connect...

Rio 2016 Paralympic Marcia Malsar falls gets back up after dropping torch in Opening Ceremony In an inspirational sequence, Marcia Malsar fell and dropped her torch, got back up and finished her relay leg during the Rio Paralympic Opening Ceremony on Thursday night. Most eyes in the Maracanã were on Malsar, a four-time 1980s Paralympic track medalist for Brazil who reportedly has cerebral palsy, as she carried the Olympic flame in the rain during the final stages of the torch relay. Malsar had the flame in her left hand and her cane in her right. When she fell, aides rushed toward her. Malsar got up and, after the initial help of those aides, finished her leg to hand off to the penultimate torch bearer. The large crowd in the iconic stadium roared with applause.
Route: http://pastebin.com/cVgKRN8N Guidelines: http://pastebin.com/7azXjZDv This concept was thought up by MANY people as soon as we learned a torch existed in DS2, but I had yet to see any videos of a run. This is *my* take on an Olympic Torch run. The idea is less for difficulty and more for novelty. Hope you enjoy! Watch LIVE on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/lobosjr

See more from the AT&T; Archives at http://techchannel.att.com/archives The 1984, Summer Olympic Games was a turning point. With this event, which took place in Los Angeles in the summer of 1984, the Olympics took a new, more commercialized turn — ;these Games were the beginning of the modern sponsorshop age. While the Games had had sponsorships before (even as far back as 1908), these Games were so profitable for L.A. Olympic Committee that they had a surplus of over 200 million dollars after the event was over — which has continued to be used to support children's athletics programs ever since. In 1984, there were 34 official sponsors, 64 companies had "supplier" rights, and 65 companies were licensees. The incredibly-detailed post-1984 Olympic Games report gives a breakdown for everythi...
