It’s nearly 100 days to go until the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Olympic flame has been lit.
The ceremony takes place in Greece’s ancient Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC.
The torch will first travel 3,000 miles through Greece, before crossing the Mediterranean to France in May on the three-masted ship Belem. It then will travel through France and its overseas territories before arriving in Paris for the start of the games in July.

As a Greek I boast with pride and get electrified by this ceremony connecting our ancient roots with the modern era. The message is simple: Let peace in the world, even for a while and let’s compete each other and may the best win!! Good luck to the hosting city Paris and to all contestants!! Thank you for the honor!! Greetings from Athens Greece 🇬🇷

Earth, sea, and breaths of the winds; mountains and valleys, make silence! Sounds and chirpings of birds, stop! Because Foivos, the king of the light is going to be with us. (yes its kinda pagan) Apollo, god of the sun and light, you sent your rays and lit the torch for the welcoming city of Paris.

So, what happened to the parabolic mirror? Was it indeed a parabolic mirror or just a drum? And what good is a parabolic mirror on an overcast day anyway? The parabolic mirror was on a stand nearby, but was mostly covered by the red BBC banner across the screen.

@stelios5314 Месяц назад

They said the mirror was used a few hours before the ceremony to light the flame in advance , because the weather conditions (cloudy) wouldnt allow the flame to light during the ceremony.

@untergehermuc 29 дней назад

Usually it’s done by Apollo by the mirror. Look for example for the 2016 ceremony. But it was apparently too clouded this time.

The dress is cringe though. A printed Greek column? It would've been better if they took in some inspiration from the first written history of the clothing such as the materials and how the silhouette of their dresses be. At least the materials would also be natural, and give artisans a job and chance to showcase their own interpretation of the clothes back then.
