The Olympic Flame







During the Olympic games in 1928 the Olympic Flame was reintroduced. Electric Utility of amsterdam was the first one to light the Flame in the marathon tower Olympic stadium Amsterdam. Most of the time the Flame was is carried by runners, in many transported ways. Fire travelled by boat in 1948 across the English Channel, carried by rowers to canberra, by dragon boat to Hong Kong in 2008 and then by airplane in 1952 when the fire travelled to Helsinki.
