GREECE - OLY2016 - FLAME - CULTURE - SPORTS

GREECE, Olympia: An actress performing as the priestess holds a pot with the Olympic flame at the Temple of Hera on April 21, 2016, during the lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame in ancient Olympia, the sanctuary where the Olympic Games were born in 776 BC. The Olympic flame was lit in an ancient temple in one country in crisis and solemnly sent off carrying international hopes that Brazil's political paralysis will not taint the Rio Games that start in barely 100 days.
