The Flame.
The stadiums and medals and logos and mascots may change - but the olympic flame will always be a recognised symbol of sporting achievment. The Olympic flame is lit in acient olympia - travels worldwide as a symbol of the games and burns throughout the duration of the games.
This year the Youth Olympic flame was lit for the very first time. 'Lighting the way' for a new generation.
........F is also for Friends and Family
In 2006 Sarah Hughes attended the figure skating competition at the Torino Olympics as the reigning olympic champion. But she wasn't there to aim for a second gold medal- she was there to cheer on her younger sister Emily in her own olympic competition. Pretty good person to have on your side!
Friends and Family are the unsung heroes- usually hidden in the depth of the crowd. Most olympic athletes would agree they wouldn't be olympic athletes without their supporters at home.
