Olympic flame tradition is kept alive

25 June 2008, 12:46, by Peter Patagrew

It was reintroduced to the modern Olympics in Amsterdam in 1928 and the relay was held eight years later in Berlin. The flame traveled from Olympia to the German capital in 1,000m stages.

The relay went global for the Athens Games in 2004, meaning honoring the tradition of keeping the flame going became more difficult.
