Rio Games countdown starts with torch lighting

By Reuters in ancient Olympia, Greece | China Daily | Updated: 2016-04-22 08:13

The official countdown to this year's Rio de Janeiro Olympics began on Thursday when the torch was lit at the site of the ancient Games, with organizers hoping it will shift attention away from Brazil's political and financial turmoil.

On a glorious spring day with the sun burning hot above the ancient stadium in Olympia, an actress playing a high priestess lit the torch from the rays of the sun at the temple of Hera, using a parabolic mirror.

Greek gymnastics world champion Lefteris Petrounias started the domestic relay after receiving the flame and Brazilian double Olympic volleyball champion Giovane Gavio was the second runner.
