The Olympic flame was lit in ancient Olympia today (Tuesday, 16 April) and has embarked upon its journey to Paris, starting with an 11-day relay in Greece.
“In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even – and in particular – during times of wars and conflict. Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition,” said International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach.

“Then as now, the Olympic athletes send this powerful message: yes, it is possible to compete fiercely against each other and at the same time live peacefully together under one roof. The athletes will shine in their sport and show us what greatness humans are capable of with all their excellence, determination and resilience.
