Her Excellency Katerina Sakellaropoulou: With around 100 days to go before its start, the Olympic flame that will be burning for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was ignited at the birthplace of the Games in Ancient Olympia, Greece on Tuesday during a traditional ceremony.
It then started its journey which will take it through Greece to France. After arriving in Marseille on May 8, it will travel across the entire country, and some French overseas territories, before reaching Paris for the opening ceremony on July 26.
Actress Mary Mina, in the role of an ancient Greek High Priestess, lit the torch using a backup flame instead of a concave mirror due to cloudy skies before the 2,500-year-old Temple of Hera, a goddess in ancient Greek mythology.
