The Minute of History
- The Olympic Torch Relay is an iconic relay race that precedes each edition of the modern Olympic Games.
- The Olympic flame is transported from Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, to the city’s stadium where the Opening Ceremony is taking place.
- This relay symbolises the link between the ancient and modern Games, and recalls the values of peace and fraternity carried by the Olympic movement.
