What are the legends of 10 of the Olympic flame?

The most "high-tech" relay 1976 The 2nd1Olympic Games in Montreal officially opened on July 17, but just four days before the opening ceremony, the Olympic torch was lit on the altar of the Temple of Hera in Olympia, Greece. The answer lies in the unprecedented torch relay mode-satellite. At that time, after the flame was passed from Olympia to Athens, it was sent to Ottawa, the capital of Canada, by satellite with electronic and laser technology. The next torch relay will take the flame to Montreal on July 6th, at 438+07. Although the most magical journey is incompatible, Sydney Olympic Organizing Committee is very romantic. They let Clay Duncan, a famous marine biologist, carry diving equipment and carry a torch for three minutes in the beautiful Great Barrier Reef. This is the first underwater torch relay in Olympic history. The torch is equipped with a specially designed flame chamber, which uses chemical methods to make the torch produce flame in the air or underwater. An unprecedented trip around the world. The 2004 Athens Olympic Games marked the return of the Olympic Games to its birthplace and its revival. To commemorate the Olympic history, the Athens torch relay spanned five continents and became the first global relay of the Olympic torch. The Athens Olympic torch relay passes through all the former Olympic host cities, bringing joy and celebration to these places again. The torch also passed through some representative cities, such as Brussels, the center of the European Union, Lausanne, the seat of the International Olympic Committee, and Beijing, the host city of the next Olympic Games. The Athens Olympic torch relay lasted 78 days, with a total journey of 78,000 kilometers, and 260 million people around the world were lucky enough to witness the Olympic flame. This is also the first time that the Olympic flame has set foot on the land of Africa and South America. The most commercially valuable relay race: A business-minded American had a whim at the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games 1984. They auctioned the right to the torch relay in the United States, which was worth $3,000 per kilometer. However, this commercial behavior was not recognized by the Greek Olympic Committee, saying that the torch relay would not be carried out. Later, the flame of this Olympic Games spread from Athens to new york. There was no torch relay in Greece, and neither side even held a torch handover ceremony. Americans finally raised 1 1 million dollars in this way. The most "crazy" ignition method:1At the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, Antonio rebollo, a silver medalist of Paralympic Games, got up from his wheelchair, lit an arrow with fire, bent his bow and took an arrow, and accurately hit the torch platform 70 meters away, 2 1 meter high. And he himself has practiced for this arrow more than 2000 times. In the last rehearsal a few days before the opening ceremony, Raboro missed an arrow. This has caused widespread concern in the media. Some people say that it is crazy to light the torch in such a risky way. However, at the opening ceremony, the perfect arrow became a classic scene in Olympic history. In hindsight, the mistakes in the rehearsal were probably deliberate actions taken by the organizing committee to leave suspense until the last minute. The most memorable torchbearer, the last person in the Olympic torch relay, is the torchbearer who was ordered to light the main stadium of the Olympic Games, and is often an important figure with symbolic significance. 1964, a 19-year-old college student, Yoshiji Sakai, who was born on the day of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, lit the flame of the 18 Tokyo Olympic Games, conveying the special significance of calling for world peace to the whole world. The torch of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games was lit by Australian aboriginal female athlete Freeman, which became a tribute to the aborigines in this historical immigrant country. 1968, Quetta Basilio, a 20-year-old female track and field athlete, climbed 90 steps and lit the flame of the 19 Mexico City Olympic Games, becoming the first woman to light the Olympic flame in history. The most touching trembling 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, champion Ali, suffering from Parkinson's disease, overcame the trembling of his right hand and slightly lit the fire, which rose to the top of the torch platform along the steel wire to light the Olympic flame. Ali in the boxing ring inspired many people with his courage. When Ali, who was old and seriously ill, stood in front of people again, he gave people more confidence with his own strength. The most dramatic accident was 1988. When the Olympic flame arrived at Jeju Island Airport in South Korea, the enthusiasm of the media was beyond words. When two middle school students were ready to set off with the torch, a large number of reporters flocked to ask questions, and the two young people had a hard time breaking out of the tight encirclement and starting the relay. But when they were 50 meters away from the torch relay point, the torch went out. Originally, the combustible time of the torch was designed according to 10 minute, and the delay in departure caused the torch to go out halfway. In 2000, after the Olympic torch arrived in Australia, there were many adventures: some people sprayed the torch with a fire extinguisher, some people tried to snatch the torch and throw it into the sea, and some people grabbed the torch from the torch and ran for a while until they were stopped by the police. The most forbidden fire in the torch relay, never going out, is of course the most important. Once it goes out, you can't light it with a lighter or match at will, but with a safety lamp-the safety lamp contains the fire collected from Greece. But if the safety light goes out, it will be taken away in Greece, so the safety light will never go out. Therefore, both the torch and the safety lamp concentrate on the cutting-edge technology of the times to ensure the safety of the flame. The Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee requires the safety light to have excellent wind resistance, and it will not go out when falling from a height of 30,000 meters, and it will not go out when the wind speed exceeds 40 meters per second. The torch of the Sydney Olympic Games can be burned in the gale and tropical rainstorm at 65 kilometers per hour, and it will automatically go out if it is inverted or placed on the ground 10 seconds. The biggest suspense: can the Olympic torch cross the earth? On July 3rd, 2006, 5438+0, on the roof of the world, China's Olympic bid delegation promised: "With the theme of" * * * enjoy peace * * * enjoy the Olympics ",the eternal Olympic torch will cross Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, thus reaching a new height. China's bold and novel great ideas deeply touched the International Olympic Committee. Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, is the roof of the world. The high altitude, low temperature and unpredictable weather on the roof of the world bring three major challenges to the Olympic torch relay. Whether the Olympic flame can be transmitted to the roof of the world through the hands of China climbers has become the biggest suspense in the history of the Olympic torch relay. At present, BOCOG has made a preliminary exploration plan for this design. Once it becomes a reality, it will become a miracle in the history of world Olympics, world mountaineering and world TV broadcasting. Fun Olympics. He gave up chasing gold medals? Is there anything more important than a gold medal in the Olympic Games? The athletes' answer is: Yes. Australian athlete Henry Pierce is obviously the favorite of environmentalists. 1928 Amsterdam Olympic rowing14 In the final, when Pierce rowed halfway, a group of ducks were swimming dangerously towards his boat. Seeing the head-on collision with these ducks, Pierce instantly gave up his desire for Olympic glory and stopped to let the mother duck and her flock of ducklings file past his boat undisturbed. It took the athlete from Sydney a long time to regain his rhythm. Incredibly, he finally became a popular gold medal winner. The Olympic flame ignited hope that the Olympic flame will be a flame of peace. 1936, an exciting torch relay ceremony was held for the first time in Olympic history. The relay journey is 3050 kilometers, from Greece to Germany through 7 countries, with 333 1 person participating. The large-scale torch relay aroused the enthusiasm of the whole world for the Olympic Games and set an example for the subsequent Olympic Games. The flame originated from ancient Greek myths and legends. According to legend, Prometheus, the ancient Greek god, stole fire from Zeus and brought it to the world to save the hungry and cold mankind. In ancient Greece, before every Olympic Games, people would light the flame in front of the temple of Hera. After the founding of the modern Olympic Games, this tradition was not followed at first. 1920 In the 7th Antwerp Olympic Games, in order to mourn the people who died in World War I, the organizers lit the torch symbolizing peace in the main venue. 1934, the International Olympic Committee decided that during the Olympic Games, from the opening to the closing, the Olympic flame will be burned in the main venue, collected from Olympia, the ancient Greek Olympic site, and transmitted to the host city by torch relay. Since then, the torch relay has become an essential ceremony for every Olympic Games. Starting from 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, before each Olympic Games, a solemn lighting ceremony will be held in front of the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Olympia, attended by the International Olympic Committee, the host city of the Olympic Games and local officials. Greek girls dressed in ancient costumes collect fire with a condenser, and then spread it to Athens with a torch, and then from Athens to the host city. During the torch relay, in case of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, it can be transported by plane or ship. The flame must arrive in the host city one day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. At the opening ceremony, the last torch relay will light the "Olympic flame" in the main stadium with cheers from people.
