It’s nearly 100 days to go until the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Olympic flame has been lit.
The ceremony takes place in Greece’s ancient Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC.
The torch will first travel 3,000 miles through Greece, before crossing the Mediterranean to France in May on the three-masted ship Belem. It then will travel through France and its overseas territories before arriving in Paris for the start of the games in July.

  • As a Greek I boast with pride and get electrified by this ceremony connecting our ancient roots with the modern era. The message is simple: Let peace in the world, even for a while and let’s compete each other and may the best win!! Good luck to the hosting city Paris and to all contestants!! Thank you for the honor!! Greetings from Athens Greece 🇬🇷

Earth, sea, and breaths of the winds; mountains and valleys, make silence! Sounds and chirpings of birds, stop! Because Foivos, the king of the light is going to be with us. (yes its kinda pagan) Apollo, god of the sun and light, you sent your rays and lit the torch for the welcoming city of Paris. You, Zeus, give peace to all the nations of the world, and crown (with a wreath) the winners of the holy race/game"

It would've been better if they took in some inspiration from the first written history of the clothing such as the materials and how the silhouette of their dresses be. At least the materials would also be natural, and give artisans a job and chance to showcase their own interpretation of the clothes back then.
