00:00 After traveling 5,000 kilometers over 11 days across Greece, the Olympic flame arrived at the Panathinaikos Stadium, accompanied by the Presidential Guard.
00:10 With blue skies and high temperatures, a Greek marathon champion brought the flame to the stadium under heavy police presence and security.
00:19 It was then taken inside to the Olympic cauldron.
00:23 "It's a great honor to be a link in this great chain of roles, and it's a great honor because I have a long history at the Panathinaikos Stadium.
00:32 I've finished many times, and I'm the first Greek woman to have run in the Olympic Games in the marathon.
00:37 I'm looking forward to this moment. Great excitement, great joy, great honor."
00:42 After traveling across Greece and being carried by athletes, politicians and citizens, it arrived in Athens in the late afternoon.
00:50 With the Greek and French flags overlooking the event, it was then put into a recycled metal latrine and handed over to the host country of the Olympics.
00:58 "So let the message today from Greece, from Athens to the city of Paris be that of peace, especially during the turbulent times we are going through.
01:09 Let the message arrive to the friendly people of France who are hosting the Olympics,
01:13 and from there, I believe and hope that a global message of peace will start because that's what it symbolizes.
01:20 The flame symbolizes solidarity, peace, and the fraternity of peoples."
01:25 "With less than 100 days to go until the Paris Olympic Games, the flame will arrive to the port city of Marseille by vessel on May the 8th, kicking off April 26th.
