- Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Join us for LIVE coverage on @FRANCE24 of the Flame Lighting Ceremony from Olympia, Greece 🇬🇷, with Stuart Norval and James Vasina
The lighting of the Olympic flame is a symbolic moment that has been a tradition of the Olympic Games since 1936. The flame not only represents the positive values that man has always associated with the symbolism of fire, such as peace and friendship, but also acts as a link between the ancient and modern Games.

Thank you Greece for everything! How the hell Greeks manage to greade 4000 ago Democracy, Phylosophy, medicine, mathematics, science, theatre drama comedy, the idea of Olympic games has to stooping wars and fights in area word at the time and bringing them to olymbous statium to settle threre deference.. and today 2024 humanity still can not do nothing about stopping the chaos we are watching
they did have a hell of alot of wars too - if you read classical history or any of the Homer books. The Romans translated alot of the ancient greek texts, and the Islamic empire also translated ancient greek and Latin books so knowedge wouldnt be lost , this all helped the Rennaisance in Europe later
they learned it from scythians on the pontic-caspian steppe - who share ancestry with both ancient greeks & modern celtic britain - the first greek philosophers were all of scythian descent
@@fais6964the abrahamic faits brought more wars though
Cool to see they still do the (literally) ancient ceremony & i appreciate that they are underlining the 'peace' portion of the Olympics considering current events, thanks for the coverage! 👍
☮ Your screen name worries me a little...
The modern Olympic Truce starts one week before the main opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and ends one week after the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games.
As far as I remember the Olympics always bring the message of peace and unity in their ceremonies. Is what the rings symbolize.
I agree; silence please so we can hear.
Too much commentary! I specifically looked for and clicked on this link to see and hear the ceremony not a bunch of talking heads talking over everything. Also, I don't need to be reminded of information with banners on the screen I know what it is, I just clicked on it. An explanation of who the participants in the torch carrier group are. I just skipped over the speeches. This was a beautiful ceremony by Greek presenters and they should be treated with respect.
Just wonderful!
I wish they would stop interviewing and talking during the ceremony. It would be nice if they could do translations also.
See the live ceremony without commentary on the Olympic channel.
ΑΡΧΑΙΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ
I wish we could see the entire performance from the ladies and gentlemen dancers with music and sounds uninterrupted and NOT hear the interviews and rambling commentary until all of that was done. They can talk all they want later on. We have months until the games themselves. This is Greece's moment!
I came here to say the same thing.
What a missed opportunity!
It brings hope to the rest of the world that humanity can work together as 1 huge extended family
A Beautiful show we like so much, except too much the annoying talks from the hosts
The TV hosts are making too much annoying talks during the show
Yeah,they talk too much
@@macmoney2043 See the live ceremony without commentary on the Olympic channel.
Wonderful to see such a prestigious and beautiful ceremony. Bravo!
The actress with the Light in the video playes in a greek tv serial 🤩 Talented and beloved ♥
The high priestess???
@@xnoelle25 Yes 41:58
I'm sure someone's going to ask, so I did the research. It was said that they didn't make use of the parabolic mirror for the torch lighting because the weather was too cloudy, so instead, they used a backup flame that was lit at the same spot during an earlier rehearsal.
Which was lit on the parabolic bowel. The rehearsal was sunny so it’s still lit using same technique
38:37 actual start of flame ceremony
Have the next one in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and the one after that in Hobart, Tasmania! See how many runners it takes to get the torch to the Game!
Can we have the Alaska games during the summer ?😂
Brisbane, Australia will be the host of the 2032 Summer Olympics. Sydney, Australia was the host of the 2000 Summer Olympics. The Olympic torch was in Tasmania on the following days:
July 31 (day 54): Journey aboard the _Spirit of Tasmania_
August 1 (day 55): Burnie
August 1 (day 55): Queenstown
August 2 (day 56): Glenorchy
August 3 (day 57): Kingston
August 3 (day 57): Hobart
August 4 (day 58): Campbell Town
August 4 (day 58): Launceston
August 5 (day 59): Deloraine
August 5 (day 59): Journey aboard the _Spirit of Tasmania_

Thanks;
BTW; was there any running on deck of the Spirit of Tasmania?
(The 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics was the BEST ever!)
Too much RIDICULOUS talk by the commentators! This is the worst broadcast coverage of the ancient Lighting so far. All the solemnity and import of the occasion was TOTALLY smothered by the endless verbal diarrhea of the "talking heads." I'd give this coverage an "F" -- for Flatulence!!
endless verbal diarrhea 😄😀👌
Turn the volume off
@@janedmunds4218 But then I would also shut off the music of the ACTUAL ceremony -- so why should I deny myself that? The commentators just YAKKED too much. It was NEVER like that before!!
In their Word, during the Olympics, all wars stopped.
We are incapabe do do that.
I think the commentators were very rude during this moving ceremony which I don’t think has ever been televised before! They should have been proud to be bringing it to us!😢
Where is the moment when the flame is created???? Ceremony personnel have already arrived with the fire going. Was a lighter used this time?
Backup flame for the weather (too cloudy).
Ancient Greece, educated Roma, and Roma educated the entire Western World.
Is anyone being forbidden from the games? I hope that is the case. Two countries at minimum should be on that list.
In the past they have been allowed to participate without their flag or anthem, this is most likely the case again.
Even tho (especially with one of the two) we like to put some blame on the civilians of a country, fact is they don't run their country and just wanna compete in sports, as long as they are not allowed to "advertise" their country then that's honestly fine.
It's better to include them so at the very least those athletes and some of their viewers will go "oh hey, maybe they're not evil like my gov has been telling me all this time" then to deny them entry and give their government more bs stories to spin/those people more reasons to hate us all 😉
*Edit: Looked it up, can confirm, they are allowed as "neutral athletes" if they behave, if they start trying to push their governments narrative then they will be told to leave/disqualified, nobody from their gov(s) will be invited either (but technically they can show up if they don't wear colors i think?) and there are apparently 11 of them in total*
Which ones?
USA and NATO members should banned from Olympics too, with your poor logic and IQ of a lettuce
For future reference, it's impolite to speak, over others and through a ceremony. Yes do provide translations and do let your audience, know what's happening. After all, we all here, for the loud music and ALL of the ceremony.
Don't be rude and talk over others.
Our ancestors, truly believe that fire is a God.
An example : the Vestales of Rome
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Commentators don't know when to shut their traps.
And then... The French ceremony happened. Yes, it did occur, unfortunately. My apologies.
The torch looks like an RPG round this year.
it is a menace in paris
C'mon, world. You think the Olympics are happening this year? Doubt it.
Where are Russian sportsmens? Why do they have to answer for decisions of France, Russian, Germany and American politics? Is it Olympics tradition and principles?
Don't they know the point of watching the ceremony is exactly that. They need to shut up
🏠🧥
Не слушай те же самые новости.
"AEUC" should not be called IOC, don't humiliate the Greek gods
where was wonder woman ?
The DISRESPECT, you couldn't hold the talking and giggling until the choreography was over?!!!
Russia?
Abey olympic ho rahe france mein... This was out of blue globs. Olympia ki Olympic globs? 😊
💤💤💤💤💤
😂😂😂😂😂
$10 a major power will launch an attack during or right after the Games.
The 'talking heads' ruined the ceremony. That is what we tuned in for. A translator or english subtitles would have helped as well for the ceremony.
Look like a calvin klein commercial
Le sens des Jeux olympiques s'est perdu. M. Bach, arrêtez cette farce !
Whats up withboracle of delphi get up?!
And imagine, it all started with a BiC 😅🎉😂
*_How embarrassing could you get?_*
If this had been the United states the singer would have been some obnoxious diva..
These will be the most shameful, most failed Olympic Games. And perhaps the last ones. Even the Sun is against it!
even the Zeus not blessing the day of lighting the Olympics torch ... LOL ... Doom the Paris 2024 Olympics it will ... coz it's condemned by the Gods ... LOL ...
I'm surprised you can fit commenting on videos into your busy daily schedule of making tinfoil hats
