【正文】 es, one athlete from the host country takes Olympic oath on behalf of all peting athletes. This particular gesture of sportsmanship was introduced at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar oath at each Opening Ceremony. The Olympic Flame The Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survived from the Games of ancient Greece, where a sacred flame, ignited by the sun, burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera. The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games, where it burned throughout the petitions. It has bee a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies the Olympic spirit enpassing the ideals of purity, the endeavour for perfection, the struggle for victory, friendship and peace. The Torch Relay During the 1896 Games in Athens, young inspired sportsmen had anised the first torch relays. However, the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in 1936. As in ancient times, the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia, then passed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city, where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’ Opening Ceremony. The flame then burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.
