During the ancient games in Olympia,Greece,a flame ignited by the sun,burned continually on a
alter of the Goddess Hera.The first modern Olympic flame was first seen in the 1928
Amsterdam games,where the flame burned constantly throughout the games.The modern Olympic torch relay tradition began in 1936 in Berlin.The torch is lit by the sun in Olympia,as it was in ancient times and then passed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city.When it arrives at the host city,it is used to light a different flame in a cauldron at the Olympic stadium during the opening ceremony.the flame then burns throughout the games and is extinguished at the closing ceremony.
