2018 Winter Olympics

The 2018 Winter Olympics torch relay was run from October 24, 2017, until February 9, 2018, in advance of the 2018 Winter Olympics. After being lit in Olympia, Greece, the torch traveled to Athens on 31 October.[1] The torch began its Korean journey on 1 November, visiting all regions of Korea. The Korean leg began in Incheon International Airport: the torch travelled across the country for 101 days. 7,500 relay runners participated in the torch relay over a distance of 2,018 kilometres (1,254 mi). The torchbearers each carried the flame for 200 metres (660 ft). The relay ended in Pyeongchang's Olympic Stadium, the main venue of the 2018 Olympics.[2] The final torch was lit by figure skater Yuna Kim.
