Olympic Flame

The Olympic Flame is ignited by the sun in Olympia, Greece. The Olympic Flame must keep on burning until the closing of the ancient Olympic games.

The tradition still continues to these days. The Olympic Flame is lit by a curved mirror that reflects the heat of the sun onto the Olympic Flame. It is performed by a woman dressed in ancient style robes.
