In the previous Olympic torch relay, was there any record of the flame being extinguished?
On March 25, 2004, the first torchbearer in Greece turned off when handing over in front of the monument to Coubertin. Xinhua News Agency, Athens, April 5 (Reporter Wen Xinnian) In response to media criticism, the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee recently issued a statement saying that there is nothing wrong with the torch design. In most cases, this problem occurs because torchbearers don't know enough about the torch itself. On March 25th, 2004, the first torchbearer and Greek javelin world champion Ghazi Huduse turned off at the first stop, that is, the handover of Coubertin Monument, the father of modern Olympic Games. On March 3 1, the Olympic flame entered Athens for the first time and was sent to the Pan-Athens Stadium, the venue of the first modern Olympic Games. At the torch handover ceremony, when Greek Olympic Committee President Lan Nikolai handed the torch to Athens Olympic Organizing Committee President Zaskaraki, the torch was accidentally extinguished again. In the statement, the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee also said that flameouts are not frequent. During the first phase of the Greek torch relay from March 25th to March 3rd, Kloc-0, * * * 823 torchbearers participated in the relay, among which the torch was extinguished less than 30 times. The torch of the Sydney Olympic Games was sprayed with a fire extinguisher during the relay. This is the second time that the Sydney Olympic torch has been attacked in McLean, northern New South Wales, Australia. Security guards guarding the torch arrested a man aged 17 and handed him over to the police. A spokesman said that the young man sprayed the torch with a fire extinguisher, but it didn't go out. A similar thing happened a month ago. In a place in southeast Melbourne, an old man 19 rushed out of the crowd and snatched the torch of the torch relay. 1On July 6th, 992, the Barcelona Olympic flame arrived in Spain, and was robbed and put out by a group of protesters. 1On July 6, 992, when the Olympic flame arrived in Samarra province in northern Spain, a group of daring bandits blocked the road and robbed, and forcibly borrowed the flame and ran back to their hometown. The gang was finally captured by the police, led by an Olympic athlete, Spanish rower Sanchez. Sanchez was surrounded by several people holding local flags and began to run to the town where he lived. According to Sanchez, they were angry because the Olympic flame didn't pass through their hometown, so they did something to snatch the flame halfway. During the torch relay of the 25th Barcelona Olympic Games, an unprecedented anecdote about torch loss happened. 1On June 5, 992, the Olympic flame was lit in the ancient Olympia village, followed by the torch relay. The 20-year-old Greek hammer champion Suri Gioglu finished 1 zone. When he ran 1000 meters and lit the torch in Zone 2, a man wearing an Olympic T-shirt politely said to him, "You have worked too hard. Let me help you hold the torch for a while. Surrey Georg thought he was a member of the Olympic Committee, so he handed him the torch without hesitation. Unexpectedly, people disappeared and torches disappeared without a trace. Two weeks later, the thief who stole the fire surrendered to the Greek Olympic Committee. This man was none other than Surrey Georg himself. He said that when he ran the 1 area and lit the torch for the second area, he suddenly had the idea of leaving this torch as a souvenir. So, after putting out the torch, he hid the torch with a value of 150 dollars in his travel bag when people were not looking, and made up a lie that the torch was picked up by others, and then quickly left the scene by car. Afterwards, the president of the Greek Olympic Committee, Mingkolabao, said: Suri Gioglu did a stupid thing, because the torch was given to those who participated in the relay race as a souvenir. 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, when two middle school students were 50 meters away from the torch relay point, the torch went out. 1988 during the torch relay of Seoul Olympic Games, two middle school students were surrounded by a large number of reporters when they were preparing to leave with the torch at Jeju Island Airport in South Korea, which delayed the departure time. Because it was much slower than the scheduled time, the torch went out 50 meters away from the torch relay point. Finally, the flame stored in the safety lamp prepared by the organizing Committee rekindled the torch and the torch relay continued. 1976 Five days before the closing of the Montreal Olympic Games, the flame burst and was extinguished by a rare heavy rain. 1976 Five days before the closing of the 2nd1Olympic Games in Montreal, the1day flame burning on the main torch for more than 20 minutes was suddenly extinguished by a rare heavy rain. Fortunately, the stadium was closed that day, and there were only a few staff members in the open space. Boushall, the director of the venue, saw the flame go out, rushed to the torch platform, took out a lighter from his pocket and reignited the flame. Hearing this, the people of the organizing committee were shocked and immediately reported it to the Torch Committee. After discussion, the Torch Committee declared that the fire lit with a lighter was invalid, and immediately used the safety light in the center of the venue to light the fire and rekindle the flame. Boushall was finally proved not to know and was spared from being held accountable.
