Origin of the Torch:

During the rituals at the sacred site of Olympia, there were also sprinting competitions. The athlete was the winner when he first took the torch from the priest and lit the sacred fire on the altar in front of Prometheus, the god of fire. He will also be honored as a hero. The Torch Relay, which takes place in the Games, began at the 11th Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. At that time, German long-distance runners went to Olympia, Greece, to light the torch, and then one by one to pass the torch to the Berlin stadium.
