Background: THE OLYMPIC FLAME WAS FLOWN FROM ATHENS TO VIENNA ON THURSDAY ON ITS WAY TO THE INNSBRUCK WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES. THE FLAME WAS BROUGHT TO ATHENS FROM OLYMPIA ALONG THE 10-MILE (16 KILOMETRE) ROUTE FROM THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE GREEK OLYMPIC COMMITTEE TO THE HELLENIKON AIRPORT.

THE FLAME WAS LIT BY THE RAYS OF THE SUN IN THE SACRED GROVE OF ANCIENT OLYMPIC IN THE PRESENCE OF CROWN PRINCE CONSTANTINE. HIMSELF A GOLD MEDALLIST. AN INNOVATION THIS YEAR WAS THE BEARING OF THE TORCH BY "PRIESTESSES" TO THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY IN MEMORY OF BARON DE COUBERTIN, REVIVER OF THE MODERN OLYMPICS.
