Actress Mary Mina (L), playing a priestess, lights a torch during the Olympic flame lighting ceremony for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, Greece, yesterday. Bad weather lashing western Greece forced organizers to move the ceremony indoors, from Olympia’s ancient stadium and temples to the museum. The flame is lit by focusing the sun’s rays with a concave mirror. But with skies overcast, officials used a backup flame kindled during a brief spell of sunshine at Monday’s rehearsal.Xinhua |
