Question

Over the last 90 years, the Olympic flame(火焰) has been carried by thousands of people, mostly on foot. On April 21, at the Temple of Hera in southern Greece, the Olympic flame was lit again. This marked the official countdown(倒計時) to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in August.

This year for the Rio Olympics, there will be about 12,000 torchbearers(火炬手). The special thing is, for the first time in history, Syrian refugee(難民) Ibrahim AI-Hussein was a torchbearer while passing the torch in Greece. It wanted to show a message: sports can make the world better. There were also some Chinese faces that you may know, for example, Chinese actor Yang Yang, who passed the Olympic flame in Greece.
