The flame for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was lit by the sun's rays during a dress rehearsal in ancient Olympia on Monday, ahead of Tuesday's official ceremony which will mark the home stretch of the Games in France.
A Greek actress playing the high priestess used a parabolic mirror and the sun's rays to light the torch during the final rehearsal before Tuesday's traditional ceremony at the birthplace of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece.
The ceremony marks the start of a torch relay in Greece and France which will end in Paris for the start of the Games on July 26.
On Tuesday, the flame will be lit in front of the President of the Greek Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo and the leaders of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is unlikely to encounter weather problems with hot temperatures and a largely sunny skies.
In case of clouds not allowing the use of the mirror to light the torch, the flame lit during the dress rehearsal serves as a backup.
After lighting the torch on Tuesday, actress Mary Mina will then pass the flame to the first torchbearer, Olympic rowing champion Stefanos Ntouskos, near the old Olympic stadium for the start of an 11-day Greek relay.
The flame will then be handed over to the organizers of the Paris Games in Athens on April 26 before spending a night at the French embassy in the Greek capital then leaving the next day for France aboard a three-masted ship, the Belem.
The Olympic flame will arrive in Marseille on May 8, and up to 150,000 people are expected to attend the ceremony in the southern city's Old Port before the start of the French leg of the relay.
Marseille, founded by Greek settlers from Phocaea around 600 BC, will host the sailing competitions.
The French torch relay will last 68 days and will culminate with the lighting of the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony of the Games on July 26.
