This may sound silly but what is the OLYMPIC TORCH? 😮 :confused:

Wow, I’ve never heard of that before. Have you ever seen it?

Not in person, I have not. I have seen the process of the torch being lit at Olympia, on Greek TV, however.

I think that looks prettty nice, incorporating the colours of the Olympic theme this year, with the olive branches and whatnot. The Olympic torch is lit naturally (using sunlight reflecting off a silver convcave dish of some sort) in Olympia, Greece. It is then relayed thoughout various nations, ultimately reaching its destination for opening ceremonies, which for this year won’t be too far from it’s birth.
