将在2016年里约夏季奥运会上燃烧的奥运圣火在古代奥运会的诞生地被点燃。

21日，2016年里约奥运会的奥运圣火(the Olympic flame)在希腊古奥林匹亚(Ancient Olympia in Greece)采集成功。希腊著名女演员卡特里林娜·勒侯扮演最高女祭司(famous Greek actress Katerina Lechou dressed as an Ancient Greek High Priestess)，她站在赫拉神庙废墟(the ruins of the Temple of Hera)前，用一个凹面镜聚焦太阳光线成功点燃火炬(use a concave mirror to focus the sun's rays and light the torch)。

希腊总统帕夫洛普洛斯、国际奥委会主席(the president of the International Olympic Committee)巴赫、里约奥组委主席(the president of the Organizing Committee of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games)努兹曼等约3000名代表出席了奥运圣火采集仪式(the lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame)。

接下来，圣火将在希腊境内进行为期6天、全程2235公里的传递，450名火炬手将参与火炬接力(450 torchbearers will participate in the torch relay)，其中包括一名叙利亚难民(including a Syrian refugee)。27日，神圣的火种将被正式移交给里约的奥运会组织者(the sacred flame will be delivered to the Rio Games organizers)。圣火离开希腊后，将先在位于瑞士洛桑的奥林匹克博物馆展示到5月2日，之后运到巴西。巴西的奥运火炬传递将于5月3日从巴西首都巴西利亚开始。
