Sun finally shines for Olympic flame lighting rehearsal
Actresses playing priestesses perform the final dress rehearsal for the lighting of the Olympic Flame at Ancient Olympia, southwestern Greece on Monday. The torch, which was lit on the third attempt due to cloudy weather, will serve as a backup if the sky during Tuesday's ceremony is overcast, as forecast.
Park confirmed as first Korean torchbearer next week
Champions League winner Park Ji-sung will be the first South Korean to carry the flame for the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics after the torch lighting ceremony in Ancient Olympia next week, the Hellenic Olympic Committee said on Thursday.
