Months before each olympics games there is a fire torch to start it off .
The women acts as a priestess to ignite the torch of the first person in to relay. The flame is to reunite everyone in the stadium.
One person walks in with the cauldron as the ceremony starts. It is passed on until it reaches the last carrier. It is placed down and is lit in the stadium. The cauldron is used to light the first torch to start the race.
The olympic symbols are better known as the olympic linked rings because at least two or three colours are on every flag. The rings represent the inhabited continents ( Africa, Asia,Europe,America ,Australasia).
The olympic flag was made in 1914 but it was first raised in 1920 . Ever since it has been raised on olympic competitions days and is going to continue to over 2012.
