Indoor Olympic Flame Lighting: A Unique Journey

The Olympic flame for the Milan Cortina Winter Games kicked off its journey this week, albeit with a few adjustments due to inclement weather. The traditional torch-lighting ceremony was moved indoors to a museum in Greece, and a backup flame was used. Despite the changes, the sun eventually shone during the ceremony. The flame will now embark on a 63-day, 12,000-kilometer relay across Italy, culminating at Milans San Siro Stadium. The ceremony emphasized the spirit of the Olympic Truce and featured traditional elements, even in the indoor setting. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
