I'm interested in the Olympics. What is the Olympic torch relay?
user
The Olympic torch relay is a tradition where the Olympic flame is lit in Greece and then carried by runners to the host city of the Olympics, symbolizing the connection between ancient and modern Olympic Games.
assistant
That sounds cool. Who gets to carry the torch?
user
The torchbearers are chosen by the Olympic organizers and can include athletes, celebrities, and ordinary people who have made significant contributions to their communities.
assistant
I'd love to see it in person one day. When does the relay usually start?
user
The Olympic torch relay typically starts several months before the opening ceremony of the Olympics, giving the flame time to travel to the host city.
