A few minutes in, the flame was extinguished. Luckily, there was a man close by with a light. (And, yes, that sounds like part of the “Forrest Gump” soundtrack at the beginning of the clip.) #Sochi2014 #Olympic Flame is ready to take off from Greece #torchrelay @Olympics pic.twitter.com/FvgyHVNAuE — Sochi 2014 (@Sochi2014) October 6, 2013 Photos: Olympic flame in ancient Athens sitesFollow @nzaccardi
