[00:00.00]The most prominent symbols

[00:02.18]of the Olympic Games today

[00:03.72]did not originate in classical times.

[00:06.67]The Olympic torch was

[00:08.89]an innovation in 1916.

[00:12.28]The five rings were originally

[00:14.69]introduced to represent the first

[00:16.99]five Olympics of the modern

[00:19.39]era from 1896 to 1912.

[00:23.55]In 1920 the rings were revived

[00:26.83]to represent the five continents

[00:28.58]with North and South America

[00:30.99]being represented by one ring.

[00:33.72]The 1936 Olympics in Nazi 1 Germany,

[00:37.66]was the site of

[00:39.08]the first lighting 2

[00:40.07]of the Olympic flame.

[00:41.93]The spirit of intense competition

[00:44.56]in association with heroism 3

[00:46.75]and national pride, remain

[00:49.48]major themes of the Olympics today,

[00:52.76]much as they were

[00:54.07]over 2000 years ago.

[00:56.04]Today, countries send their best,

[00:58.89]amateur and professional alike,

[01:01.18]to compete for the highest honours.

[01:04.80]Athletes also still try to

[01:06.98]find an advantage to

[01:08.63]give a better performance

[01:10.38]than all other competitors,

[01:12.24]sometimes, unfortunately,

[01:14.31]not always following the rules.

[01:17.92]Every four years, or

[01:21.43]every two years when

[01:23.39]one includes the winter Olympics,

[01:25.37]which began in 1924,

[01:27.11]the world focuses on

[01:29.08]a human event that represents

[01:31.49]the good of humanity.

[01:33.89]Motivated for a couple of weeks,

[01:36.31]in those years, people

[01:38.49]and nations try to forget

[01:42.21]their troubles, put aside

[01:43.96]their differences and conflicts,

[01:45.16]and become part of

[01:47.24]a vast promotion 4 of

[01:46.57]good global relations and cooperation.

[01:50.40]One sometimes wonders if the Olympics

[01:53.79]serve as a safety valve

[01:55.54]in international human relations,

[01:57.73]attributing to a collective sanity 5

[02:00.47]in a world that,

[02:02.21]not unlike that of ancient times,

[02:04.73]is perpetually the scene

[02:06.81]of conflict, strife 6, and human misery 7.

[02:11.07]Certainly one would like to

[02:13.48]think that that is the case.

[02:15.89]If not, one can always hope
