This is the famous Olympic torch! I waited for this photo for almost 2 hours in the heat, squeezed in a crowd of people. I know now that it wasn't worth it. We were separated from the torches by a cordon of uniformed officers, barriers, a two-lane road, a wall and a green belt. Just 2 hours before the relay, I couldn't even get to the other side of the street. The photo is what it is... Assistants in blue and white costumes, on the left in a yellow T-shirt, the army, ready for anything to protect the Olympic fire (about 30-40 soldiers in total). They were wearing polo shirts, but from their posture, behavior and rhythmic running, it is easy to guess that they were trained soldiers.
