Once its finds itself in Brazil, the flame will visit every state in the country, a 95-day journey of over 12,500 miles to the opening ceremony at the iconic Maracanã stadium on August 5 th. The torch will embark on a long journey starting from the ancient Panathinaiko stadium in Athens, used for the modern era 1896 Games and will then travel by airplane to the UN headquarters in Geneva and international Olympic Committee museum in Lausanne. First to handle the torch of 10,000 torch bearers in the months ahead for the Rio Olympics was Greek gymnast Eleftherios Petrounias, who handed on to Brazil’s two time-time volleyball Olympic champion Giovane Gavio. Actress Katerina Lehou, played the high priestess, performing the ceremony under cloudless skies and symphony of bird song in front of the Temple of Hera. The Olympic torch relay began in 1936 at the Berlin games with about 3,330 runners taking the flame through seven (7) countries from Greece, the place of birth of the games, to the country to host the games – Germany. Today, the Olympic torch is lit in front the Temple of Hera, continuing a sacred tradition from eighth century BC, starting its long journey to the Rio de Janeiro in ancient Olympia from the 21 st of April. Greek mythology has it that fire was given to mankind by the ancient Greek god Prometheus, with the belief of being sacred. Ignited by focusing the rays of the sun using mirrors, the torch burns incessantly in front of the ancient Greek temples. The virus-soaked sewage is a problem for open water events, and is not going away any time soon, it seems.Ĭonsidering the problems, challenges and unfortunate incidents befalling the great nation of Brazil, liking it to the ten plagues that befell King Pharaoh and his people, nothing excluding God, can stop the Olympics from taking place once the torch is lit.

The icing on the cake is the outbreak of the Zika virus. There are incredible economic issues facing the country, with widespread poverty.

Sewage treatment in Brazil has been an issue for decades, as have massive political corruption, with the New York times claiming, 271 of the 594 members of Brazil’s congress are facing serious charges of corruption, while the Economist pinpoints 352 to be charged with criminal wrongdoings. Though some media outlets reported on what was going on in Brazil even before the country was awarded the 2014 World Cup and then the Olympics, however, huge sporting events such as the Olympics and the World cup have a way of attracting far more attention to the real issues in a country. With the economy booming or maybe falsified to be booming, as claimed by President Rousseff in 2009, it was a good ground to stand and point the Olympics to that direction. Every Olympic Games has had its share of drama, hindrances and controversy as they approach, but Rio seems a spilt milk and a bad decision on the part of IOC handing the city the privilege to host such a stupendous event. Three months to the start of the Rio Olympics, the chaos and issues facing the country are not slowing down, but rather being re-kindled, the latest being the impeachment proceedings of President Dilma Rousseff.
