The flame for the London 2012 torch relay and Olympic Games has been lit during a ceremony in Olympia, Greece.

However, a gust of wind caused an early hitch in the proceedings, blowing out the flame which had to be relit before being handed to a torchbearer.

Omen for a sucessful game?

Cue an Elton John song re-write?

What’s with the Naziesque occult rituals. If they were blonde I’d have been expecting to hear Horst Wessel Lied.

Besides, I thought Greece was a war zone now.

My point is, why do you need so many rituals for what is effectively just sports.

Greece obviously hadnt paid the gas bill.

It’s not a ritual, it’s a tradition. Far different I’d say.

They should get Zippo to do the Olympic flame
