The tradition of the Olympic Games is that the lighting takes place in the sanctuary of Olympia (Greece), the cradle of the ancient Games. During the ceremony, the torch is lit in the ancient way, using the rays of the sun. Subsequently, the Olympic Flame will pass through the Peloponnese, the Pylos region and even Athens. On April 26, the handover ceremony will be held at the Panathenaic Stadium. La Flamme will then set sail towards France, aboard the three-masted Bélem. On May 8, the torch will arrive in Marseille, for its journey on the French roads. The various relays will take place until June 7, when the Flame will tour the overseas departments. On June 18, Nice will welcome the return of the torch to mainland France. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will take place on July 26 in Paris. In total, nearly 10,000 scouts will pass the relays. In these lines, we tell you at what time and on which channel to watch the torch lighting ceremony of the Olympic Flame Relay, live this Tuesday morning.
