the one using archer was so hardcore
0:04 , México 68.
The first woman to carry the Olympic flame, Enriqueta Basilio.
It's awesome, because before the this Olympics México 68, not participated a never woman.
He is a man
wha?
Enriqueta Basilio de Sotelo, orgullo de México.
@@Rang15 are you crazy? she died last year. she is a national proud of Mexico. the first woman who lightened the olympic cualdron in the history of the modern olympic games.
Mexico 68, first woman in light up the Olympic flame.
Wow I didn't know that! She must of had a smile on her face holding it. ✌️
2004 Athens? It's a shame to forget Greece which gives the Olympic flame!
Beijing doesn’t matter
Stop overrating yourselves...
Btw, modern Greece has very little to do with ancient greece...
@@andrewhay2241 Haters are gonna hate! Get a life!
@@whynotstayhonest4706 Modern Greece is the continuation of ancient Greece, moron!
What about Greece? You know, the country that started the whole thing?
Midgetgem they never had it in the old times just when Greece had it when the torch was brought to their country but fun fact the torch is always lit from Greece then brought to any country for the Olympics
The modern olympic games are a joint Greek-German invention. Greece was ruled by German royals back then and the German Oktoberfest (the way it has been back then - not a "beer festival") was the role model for the new olympic games.
@@theflamingred-aislyn944 Except the times it went out and the old lighter technique took over
Pat C lol
@@whynotstayhonest4706 The Greek royal family was of Danish origin, not German and they weren't involved in the revival of the Games!
My favorite Cauldrons would probably have to be Sydney & Londons. Sydney because of the combination of water & fire, epically creative. London because the Cauldron represented everything that the Olympics is, the coming together of all nations, executed in such a peaceful and beautiful way.
Koroniria Ryder I would have to agree with you!
+s
what about barcelona
The cauldron from the Sydney Olympic Games is there on public display near the stadium. I stood under it.
What about Greece?!?!?! the birthplace of the Olympic Games! this is OUTRAGEOUS!! Greece should have been mentioned BEFORE showing the rest of the cities which hosted the games afterwards; such as Beijing and London! Olympic Games 2004 in Greece was a historical and magical moment for us because the Olympics returned home! This whole event which brings the world together as one, begun first and foremost in GREECE. this well known fact should never be forgotten!
You're were right, but The one who created the Olympic games was Charles Pierre de Frédy French educator and historian, founder of the International Olympic Committee, and its second President. He is known as the father of the modern Olympic Games.
@@KrystalKlear777 yes, he was the father of the modern Olympics, but he did held the first modern Olympics in 1896 in Athens, Greece
Are you from Greece...?
the only thing that
's same between the current olympics and ancient olympics is the name....
Athens should have been included in the video! It was the only time in olympic history that the cauldron bowed down to the athlete carrying the last torch!
where is 2004 greece??
It is (or was) in Greece but not in the video. Why?
Not every cauldron lighting from every Summer and Winter Olympic Games is in this video. Only exceptional ones were included.
I love the olympic games, I'm so excited waiting for The Tokyo 2020's edition.
Rio 2016, Beijing 2008 and Barcelona 92 were the best to me!!!
This is amazing. Main reason, why i'm waiting for olympics every second year.
I like watching athletes, but nothing can compare to watching flame being carried by thousands of people and then lit in a spectacular way. My biggest dream is someday be a torchbearer...
Me too. That would definitely be my proudest moment.
yes...it must be a moment beyond words! I 💝 the Games
my mum is an Olympic flame touch barer!
Mine as well. It’s my lifelong dream to be an Olympic Torchbearer. I have been dreaming about it since I was 9. I was watching the Seoul 88 opening ceremony and told my mum I wanted to carry the Olympic torch. She laughed. I asked my friends to nominate me for London 2012 but I didn’t get the role as lots of people applied. It still hurts to this day as I know London won’t have the Olympics again.
no one , for me , can ever beat Barcelona! simple, unique, ande even today my heart goes boom... best ever!
Greece? Athens 2004????Where is it??????
Olympics started in Greece but it didn't showed up in the video😠😠😠😠😠
Why should it show up because of that? And this torch tradition didn't start in Greece. It started in Netherlands/Germany...
@@whynotstayhonest4706 because they show as all countries and the dont put in the video Greece ( i dont care about my English)
@@whynotstayhonest4706 At least get some recognition though, Athens and specifically Greece made the games. There's no reason they should not put Athens 2004 in this, First, we are not talking about tge 1896 games, The 2004 games which was highly supported by new technology so there's impossible there's no footage Olympic Media recorded that thing
Not every cauldron lighting from every Summer and Winter Olympic Games is in this video. Only exceptional ones were included.
0:25 wooooooooooooow
The way the torch was lit at the Beijing Olympics brought tears to the eyes of every Chinese. The process of Li Ning holding the torch and running around the field symbolizes the unremitting struggle of the Chinese people, sadness and pride.

The world is beautiful, it's nice to have events such as these that brings us together in one place around the world, in a harmless competition. Such a beautiful thing. I wish it was always like this, and not really ridden with hatred and war.
I am Greek and I am offended
My favorite cauldron, by far, is Salt Lake 2002 algong with the torch....
I want to cry. Sooooo beautiful! Thank you!
Where is Greece? Greece is the best ! Everything is Greek you know it!
Except with finances. Greece isn't exactly the best with that.
@@PineberryLive Get a grip weeb

The 1992 Barcelona with bow and burning arrow was pure class!
Greece in 2004?
This has so much of the recent games, but none of the Athens games. Come on! The giant cauldron coming down was so amazing they could find room to show it here.
christianlorre i agree, it was like if technology bowed down to mankind
Its a shame to them not adding the 2nd games held in the birthplace. It was so special and meaningful

Did you know that Enriqueta Basilio was the first woman to light the Olympic cauldron in the Mexico city 1968 summer Olympics
I rlly want to participate in the Olympics one day when I'm older :)
why greece isn't in the video?? what a shame!! The country that born the Olympics!!!!
Learn history. Greece didn't start the modern olympics ... It was a joint German-Greek invention. The German Oktoberfest was the role model for the modern olympic games (back then the Oktoberfest was a sporting event - not a beer festival). And Greece has been ruled by German royals back then, as the modern olympics have been initiated. Also the torch tradition is a pure German "invention".
And why so mad? Rather try studying history instead of relying on half-truths or at least read up a little before telling myths. Also Athens 2004 was nothing special compared to all these other cities.
@@whynotstayhonest4706 You are delusional! It's pretty obvious you've never read a history book in your life.
@@whynotstayhonest4706 You are the one who is obsessed with Greece! Why so jealous?

It aint matter what you take but its origin
We need new version of this video❣
in the olympic games of Mexico 68, was the first time that the cualdron was lightened by a woman. her name, Enriqueta Basilio. in that moments my parents were childs. my first mwmories of a olympic games were seoul 88, i was 5 years. for me , the best the lighting , without doubt, barcelona 92.
Countries when organising the Olympics:
20% Where?
20% How?
60% Thinking on how to enlighten the flame like no one has ever done
where is this? is it in greece?
where does the flame coming from?
when this is coming to?
Atlanta 96 was my 2nd favorite Ray charales performed at the centennial games and he is from my hometown
Beijing 2008: Look at our cauldron lightning!
Khan-Baliq 2022: Hold my Olympic caldera. I mean yes you too, can hold it, just _hold it~_
Can you tell us where the Olympic Flame is lighted? You forget the most important
the flame is at the ancient olympicos
2004 ?
Sydney 2000 was the best Summer games and best Olympic documentary film "Olympia" was Berlin 1936.
Torch design wise Beijing’s was still the best
Where are Vancouver and Sochi?
Olympic committee hate Russia
What music is this? I love it!
wtf where is athens???
Not every cauldron lighting from every Summer and Winter Olympic Games is in this video. Only exceptional ones were included.
Amazing.
Sydney 2000 forever 🇦🇺! The first Olympic Games I watched in my life, I was just 9 years old back then, how time flies 😥.
Best ever
Where's the flame gone? Fizzled out? 🤣 classic goal
they show the Olympics in Germany in 1936, but they did not show Moscow 1980!
We don't speak of Moscow 1980... Half of the world boycotted the Olympics because the Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan a year before the games started.
VICTORY
I swear if Pele is not lighting the flame for the olympics in Brazil
The Best torch"s ignition was in Barcelona
Belle histoire qui dur et perdure
Only a very few can boast about having a complete collection of Olympic torches (Summer or Winter or Both!). Helsinki only officially made 22 of them.
I have a couple of torches myself, knowing that to have a complete collection is close to impossible.
I searched for "pigeons burnt Olympic cauldron" to get here
Fun fact: The role model for the modern olympics has been the German Oktoberfest. Also because German royals from Bavaria ruled Greece as Kings back then as these modern olympic sport games were initiated.
Enjfnfnnf
Sochi ????
Tources me deeply!
Barcelona 92 looks like that arrow shot from Game of Thrones.
Barcelona 1992 is the coolest, in my opinion.
Remember all the times it went out
Is the first shot from 98 Seoul?
You haven't realized that it's memorable things that they are putting together and plus this is the US so we put the US first of course but I get that everyone is talking about Greece but maybe there's no footage or anything you never know
No one can beat Barcelona 92!
I am doing homework
Barcelona 93 extraordinario
1998 Seoul and those birds ..... 😢
I watch still horrified for the peace doves
The curse of the flame...
Dude, how can forgot the father of Olympics... Greece???
Who came here from the Olympic flame curse video?
و بعد طول جري و تعب.. يتسلم الشعلة آخرون..ثم آخرون .. و آخرون...و آخرون
movie the vaparie in brazil to usa
A kid dropped a torch that travel through the countires that makes me mad
Here
Where is Moscow 1980?
Hi nice
Greece never started the relay flame. They did the cauldron fire and that's it.
ok next time, we won't give you the torch :)
Wait! Do the olympic comitee sell olympic torch after the Olympics?
The International Olympic Committee does not administer the Olympic torches or cauldron. That is left up to the Olympic Organizing Committee of the host city.
Not surprised they didnt yall about why the torch runs a relay, would look very bad for the Olympics if they did
the Olympic flame will be coming back down under in Brisbane for the 2032 Olympic Games!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This is no history. This tells nothing of the tradition, the selection of runners, the trail they follow, how many times it's passed.... nothing. This could be the topic of good documentary. But, no. Instead we get a unnarrated montage. Jeez.
but it is the history of the Olympic flame or torch not the Olympics.
Hamz Gee, these are only images of the torches
Et Athènes 2004
Legal
1938 berlin 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Where Greece if it wasn't for them you wouldn't have the Olympics
I wonder if guy with bow from Barcelona miss and accidentally kill someone xdd
Barcelona 92 la mejor...luego Beijin 2008
They Are jealoys of gerece because We are rich history and culture
They forgot to mention it was invented for Arian propaganda.

Olympic Games must be done only in Greece every time no other country
With just Greeks? That's how it used to be in ancient history. The modern Olympic games only started in 1896 and is a World event for all countries.
@@rexterrocks because greek people I nvented it why not it's a Greek idea
1992 is the best!
And athens ? >:v

Greece is the birthplace of olympic . so in future olympic must held in greece
