London 2012: Olympic Flame Lits up

The Olympics are as much about tradition and legacy as they are sporting events, with none so vivid as the lighting of the torch which will now wind its way from Olympia to the Games in London.

Today marked the lightening of the Olympic torch, held in the ruins of the 2,600-year-old Temple of Hera. It saw actors in ancient Greek costume use a mirror to harness the sun's rays and light the Olympic torch.

Here are the pictures gotten from CNN



Amid the tumbledown columns and olive groves of the ancient stadium in Olympia, the high priestess holds the torch high at the lighting ceremony.

The priestess, played by Greek actress Ino Menegaki, lifts the "Archaic Pot" from which the flame is lit.

The flame was lit in the ruins of the 2,600-year-old Temple of Hera, where actors used a concave mirror to harness the sun's rays.




More than 8,000 torch-bearers will carry the flame before it arrives at the Olympic Stadium in east London on July 27. The first was Greek swimming champion Spyros Gianniotis.

The Liverpool-born swimmer handed the torch to 19-year-old British boxer Alexander Loukos

Loukos grew up in east London, where the Olympic Stadium is situated, but his father hails from Greece. Making its way to Britain, the flame will first take in Greek archaeological sites including the Acropolis and Olympic Stadium in Athens, site of the first modern Games in 1896.



Arriving on May 19 at Land's End in the far southwest of England, it will wind its way through 1,019 communities, carried by 8,000 torch-bearers ~Wish I was one of the torch bearers :)~

The final leg will run from Hampton Court Palace, the former home of King Henry VIII, before arriving at the opening ceremony on July 27.

The flame will burn until the Games end on August 12 -- a tradition that was revived at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Don't you just love the Olympics??? What game are you looking forward to see???

Chat later...

RASHIDI YEKINI

*SOBS*
Our Nigerian football hero has died. Rashidi Yekini.

The gangling striker has the enviable record of scoring 


Nigeria's first goal during the country's maiden appearance at

~CUP OF JOY et L'OSCAR~

So, I had an awesome weekend ~Uhmm, OK, maybe not so awesome 'cos of the Saturday night head ache, which was TERRIBLE and the bombing in JOS yesterday :( ~

I went for my first ever book reading organised by farafina books at Life House, Ikoyi (The place is so AFRICAN and  had the best ankara gowns for sale) on Friday. Learnt a lot, met lots of cool people (even though I didn't talk to anyone ~shy moi~), and Boy, the critics were too harsh!!! (my opinion). Going home was scary but thank God, I got home safely...It was a nice experience...Check out farafina on...http://farafinabooks.wordpress.com/

Saturday was shopping day (the headache started after that) and I enjoyed arguing with my sister over what to buy (Hahahaha). Sunday was Carling cup final

...and My 'sometimes' favourite team in the world won the cup...Yayyy, Me 'Liverpool'...

I can imagine how they felt winning that cup after what some people called their '6 years of drought'. 

Well,  I guess they dreamt of paradise and it came true...So happy for them.


Hearts out to the artist, the help, rango (my all time fave cartoon), Hugo and Meryl streep (the Iron lady) for their big oscar win...Check  http://oscar.go.com/nominees for more on the oscars...

Wishing you lots of joy and remember, dreams do come true...

Enjoy this lovely song from coldplay...

And have yourself a great day (oops!!! I just destroyed the window blind in my office)...
