What is the Olympic Torch Relay?
The Olympic Torch Relay is an international event which is designed to get the whole world involved with the Olympic Games, a symbol of brotherhood and friendship which involves athletes from many countries scattered across the Earth. Over the course of the Olympic Torch Relay, a flame is continually passed from torchbearer to torchbearer across the world, traveling from Olympia, Greece, to the stadium where the Olympic Games are held, where the flame is used to light a cauldron. This cauldron then remains lit for the duration of the Olympic Games.
