Hi,

We are Alex and Faiyaz. Our blog's name is "OLYMPIC TORCH". We came up with this name as the flame is an important symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek God Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lies in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The fire was reintroduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics is Amsterdam, and it has been part of the Olympics Game ever since. The torch relay of modern times which transports the flame from Greece to the various designated sites of the game had no ancient precedent and was introduced by Carl Diem at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Welcome to our blog!!!! This is where the fun begins.
