The 2012 London Olympic torch relay began last week as the flame was lit in Olympia, Greece during a traditional ceremony. However, there was a bit of an embarrassing moment in the middle of the ceremony when a gust of wind came through and blew out the flame.
Fortunately a "backup flame" was ready to go, and hopefully it will stay lit all the way through its journey to London.
