The storied torch’s 5,000-kilometre journey to this summer’s games is about to begin.
ADVERTISEMENTThe flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics is being lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony.
It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000 kilometres before being handed over to French organisers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896.
