A priestess brings the Flame in the Stadium.
The high priestess says:

Apollo God of sun
and the idea of light
you sent your rays and lit the sacred torch
for the hospitable city of Vancouver
And you Zeus give peace to all peoples on earth and
wreath the winners
of the Sacred Race.

Vasilis Dimitriadis (skier, giant slalom, won the best place ever for Greece in Winter Olympics in Torino) is the first torchbearer of the XXI Winter Olympic Games. He will also compete in Vancouver.
The high priestess lights his torch and gives the olive branch.

    How long does that stay lit before it ends up going out and they have to relight it?

    I know that holding the Olympic flame is a huge honour but i feel sorry for the greek runners having to wear the torchbearers uniform designed for the coldness of Canadian winter rather than Greek autumn.

    Congrats! I know a few people with relatives who got to run with it out East in Nova Scotia. I get to see the relay tomorrow in Newmarket, just north of Toronto.
