There is very little time left, and we all cling to the TV screens in anticipation of adrenaline, victories and medals: the Olympics in Sochi will start, the second Russian games in modern history. We do not yet know exactly what surprises the organizers prepared for the opening ceremony of the main winter start of the four-year anniversary, but everyone knows that one of the most intriguing and touching moments will be the lighting of the Olympic flame in the bowl of the main stadium. According to tradition, it burns throughout the Olympics. Of course, this is its main symbol.
Not just a lamp

The torch traveled into outer space, and will soon conquer Elbrus. For more than two months now he has been traveling through the territory of the sixth part of the land. The Olympic flame meeting ceremony was developed by each locality independently. In the Krasnogorsk region near Moscow, a torch drove a wakeboarder along the Moscow River and lowered a snowboarder from a snowy mountain. In Kaluga, the grandson of Tsiolkovsky was the torchbearer, and the group "Earthlings" sang at the ceremony. In Pavlovsk, a relay race that arrived in a retro train was greeted by heroes of the 19th century. And in Orel, the fire “swept” in bobsledding sleigh.Is something waiting for us at the opening ceremony of the Games?
