1996 torch bearers atlanta olympics
8000
about 8,000 people will carry the torch...
There are 8,000 holes on the Olympic torch. This is beacause there are 8,000 torch bearers. (They're the people who run with the torch.) Hope this helps and GO TEAM GB! WOO!
Yes. They can. I was lucky enough to run the torch in 1996 and I still have mine. I don't remember the exact amount, but it's fairly nominal for what you get.
NO! The torch is lit in Athens (the home of the original Olympics) and is paraded in various major cities around the world, carried by a select group of well known athletes and celebrities from that country, and finally ends up arriving at the opening ceremony of the Olypmpics. It stays lit till the closing ceremony, where the torch is passed on the representive of the country which will host the next games in four years.
When it is dark, i have to use a torch. Is that ok. O.M.G i keep loosing my torch. argh.
The relay will last 130 days and cover a total distance of 137,000 kilometres. And this is the longest distance covered of olympic torch.The torch will pass through the hands of 21,880 torch bearers of various ethnicities and nationalities.The relay route will also pass through every continent on earth except Antarctica.
Yes they can. And to make sure they are authentic they are told not to wipe the soot off the torch. The carbon stain authenticates the fact the torch was lit and used in the relay.
first you need a good environment to do it in. second you need a torch not a blow torch an acetalyn torch and you need flux to keep from losing any of the gold
