The Olympic flame of the modern-day Olympic Games is lit by reflection of sunlight in a parabolic mirror at the restored Olympia stadium and then transported by a torch to the place where the games are held. When the modern Olympics came to Athens in 2004, the men's and women's shot put competition was held at the restored stadium. |

So much great information on this page. And I have watched several of the YouTube videos but this page deserves more time so I will return. | JLBG Wed Apr 23, 2008 21:06 UTC
A very thorough visit of Olympia! When I visited the museum was closed and I was not very excited by the site. Your page gives a completely different figure of Olympia! Superb page, thanks! | LoriPori Tue Apr 22, 2008 23:05 UTC
I totally enjoyed your writings of the "historical & mythological Olympia". Absolutely wonderful page Sergey. The Statue of Zeus is simply amazing isn't it! | HORSCHECK Tue Apr 22, 2008 21:15 UTC
Sergey, another gorgeous page of yours. So the Ghost of Olympia seems to be the famous Sergey who has drunken too much Anisovka. *winkygrin* |
