Flame For 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics Lit In Ancient Olympia
Greek Actress Mary Mina: The Olympic flame for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games was ignited at the birthplace of the Games in Ancient Olympia, in western Greece, on Wednesday. Due to adverse weather conditions, the ceremony was staged inside the Archaeological Museum near the ancient stadium.
The flame will travel across Greece before being handed over to Italy at Athens' Panathenaic Stadium on December 4.
Greek Actress Mary Mina, in the role of an ancient Greek High Priestess, lit the flame at the ceremony and gave it, along with an olive branch, to the first torchbearer, Greek rower Petros Gkaidatzis, during the ceremony for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Ancient Olympia.
