Friday Favorites:: Olympics

By Pooja Tiwari 1:02 PM // No comments

In honor of the 2012 Olympics going on this past week, this segment of Friday Favorites are going to be all about the Olympics!

Favorite Olympics Fact::

Did you know?

The tradition of lighting an Olympic Flame started with the ancient Greeks. The ancient Greeks idolized the power and fire. In Greek mythology, the god Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the humans. To celebrate the passing of fire from Prometheus to man, the Greeks would hold relay races where the athletes would pass a lit torch to one another until the winner reached the finish line. This started the tradition of a sacred flame lit from the sun's rays at Olympia, which stayed lit until the games were over.

This flame represented the "endeavor for protection and struggle for victory." It was first introduced into our Modern Olympics at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Since then, the flame has come to symbolize "the light of spirit, knowledge, and life."
