What does the Olympic Flame symbolize?
Q. What does the Olympic Flame symbolize?
Answer: Continuity
Notes: The Olympic Flame is a symbol of continuity because it is lit at the site of the ancient Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece and then carried to the site of the modern Olympic Games. The lighting and carrying of the flame is a symbolic representation of the connection between the ancient and modern games and the ideals of sportsmanship and peace that they embody. The Olympic Flame is also a symbol of the continuity of the Olympic movement, which has been held every four years since its modern revival in 1896. The flame is traditionally kept burning throughout the duration of the games as a symbol of this continuity.
