Olympic torch-bearers, nominated by sponsors of the Olympic games, carry the Olympic flame from its source, in Athens, to the main stadium, using a series of gas-filled Olympic torches, much like a relay race. Each torch-bearer is given their own Olympic torch (which they keep) which is lit by the Olympic flame carried by the previous torch-bearer. To preserve the flame's continuity, the Olympic flame is carried in special safety-lamps while travelling by air or sea. Once at the main stadium, during the opening ceremony, the final torch-bearer lights the Olympic beacon which remains lit throughout the games. The Olympic flame is therefore the flame itself, while the Olympic torches are the receptacles that carried the flame from Athens to the main stadium.

No Olympics have yet been held in a Muslim country as such. However, the 1984 Winter Olympiad was held in Sarajevo, capital of what was then the Yugoslavian province of Bosnia & Herzegovina and a largely Muslim city. When Bosnia & Herzegovina declared independence in 1992, the country and city had one of the largest Muslim populations (the Bosniaks) in Europe.
