The Olympic torch is lit at a ceremony in Olympia, Greece, where the ancient games were held. One requirement for the Olympic flame is that it must be created using only sunlight and a mirror. The first modern Olympic torch relay took place in Berlin, in the summer of 1936. At the beginning, runners were mainly selected from the Olympic athletes, but later regular citizens - including children, old people, and people with disabilities - began to participate as well. Traditionally, the torch is carried on foot. However, sometimes other kinds of transport are needed. When the torch must go overseas, it is sent on a private plane. The torch has also been carried underwater. For the Sydney Summer Games in 2000, a diver swam with the torch! At the end of the relay, the flame is used to light a giant pot. The light, a symbol of the Olympic spirit, bums throughout the games. (Active skills for reading 1) 1. The Olympic flame is created using sunlight and a mirror. 2.
