The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) flame was lit in Ancient Olympia, Greece last Friday (23 July 2010). To minimise the risk of disruption during the torch run, YOG torch will not be carried in relay for long distances during its international leg, like in previous Olympic Games. Instead, the YOG flame will be taken to iconic sights in each city.
