Read the passage and choose the best answer
Every four years, the Summer Olympic Games kick off with an elaborate opening ceremony
that welcomes athletes from every competing nation. However, preparations and celebrations for the
Olympic Games start long before the opening ceremony. The true beginning of the Olympic
celebration is the lighting of the Olympic torch and the relay that carries the flame to the host city.
The Olympic torch is lit at a ceremony in Olympia, Greece, where the ancient games were
held. One requirement for the Olympic flame is that it must be created using only sunlight and a
mirror. The flame is lit months before the games, and the first runner begins the great relay among the
ruins of the ancient Olympic stadium.
MA DE 132 Trang 3/4
The first modern Olympic torch relay took place in Berlin, in the summer of 1936. At the
beginning, runners were mainly selected from the Olympic athletes, but later, regular citizens ―
including children, old people, and people with disabilities ― began to participate as well. Carrying
the torch is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a great honor.
Traditionally, the torch is carried on foot. However, sometimes other kinds of transport are
needed. When the torch must go overseas, it is sent on a private plane. The torch has also been carried
underwater. For the Sydney Summer Games in 2000, a diver swam with the torch!
At the end of the relay, the flame is used to light a giant pot. The light, a symbol of the
Olympic spirit, burns throughout the games.
