The “Sacred” Olympic Torch Relay

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Considering what the Wikipedia has to say about the Olympic torch relay:-

The relay of the flame from Greece to the site of the modern games had no ancient precedent and was introduced by Carl Diem, with the support of Joseph Goebbels, at the controversial Berlin Olympics as a means to promote Nazi ideology.

I don’t see what is so sacred about it. Unless the CCP is equalling themselves to the Third Reich or an extension of it.
