The symbolism of the Olympic flame and the Torch Relay
Not only the flame represents the continuity between ancient and modern games but also, as a tradition, the Olympic flame is lit at Olympia in Greece, several months before the Olympic Games as if modern mankind was asking to Zeus, the God of Humanity to bless and protect the athletes and ensure their safety as well as the success of the ceremony as a whole.
It is believed in the context of the modern Games; the Olympic flame is a manifestation of the positive values that humans have always associated with the symbolism of fire and thus, making the link between the ancient and the modern Games.
The Olympic flame symbolises the light of spirit, knowledge and life. By passing the flame from a person to another in stages, the Torch Relay expresses the passing down of this symbolic fire from generation to generation.
Meanwhile, the Olympic symbol represents the Union of “The five continents “of the world as well as the meeting of athletes from across the world at The Olympic Games.

If there is something the modern Man is good at, it is to entertain wars, conflicts, social unrest, manufactured poverty, social classes, famine, discrimination of all sorts… this is the reason why, the image of a soldier for each country’s delegation releasing doves is a symbol of unity and peace the games always intended to convey the world as a whole.

Paris Olympic 2024 prognostics of countries who think they will win the most medals
With just few days remaining, on June 25th 2024 according to Nielsen’s Gracenote Sports latest virtual Medal Table Forecast, for the 2024 Paris Olympics Games:
“The United States is projected to win 123 medals overall – 37 gold, 34 silver, and 52 bronze. China is forecast to win 87 overall- 36 gold, 29 silver, and 22 bronze”.
Gracenote’s VMT forecast projects the United States to win the most medals overall at Paris 2024 (123). If Team USA meets this expectation, it would mark the team’s 8th successive placement at the top of the final Summer Games medal table.
As a reminder, the forecast is done by supplying statistical analysis for sports leagues around the world.
That is a bit Eurocentric one may say! But even if it doesn’t make the media mainstream headlines, it would also be fair on a representation outlook to stress on the statistics that most of America’s Olympic gold medals are won by black people as in statistically, 3 out of 5 American Olympic world medalists athletes are from Afro Caribbean descent even though they hold an American passport, after being naturalised as such.
This will thwart and put to a halt the ignorant and xenophobic outlook of the Olympics. Subsequently, block those who perceive world class events as shaped for purely the West.

Dear ALL,
Gracenote’s VMT forecast projects…
“The United States is projected to win 123 medals overall – 37 gold, 34 silver, and 52 bronze. China is forecast to win 87 overall- 36 gold, 29 silver, and 22 bronze”.
As a reminder, the forecast is done by supplying statistical analysis for sports leagues around the world.
That is a bit Eurocentric one may say! But even if it doesn’t make the media mainstream headlines, it would also be fair on a representation outlook to stress on the statistics that most of America’s Olympic gold medals are won by black people as in statistically, 3 out of 5 American Olympic world medalists athletes are from Afro Caribbean descent even though they hold an American passport, after being naturalised as such.
This will thwart and put to a halt the ignorant and xenophobic outlook of the Olympics. Subsequently, block those who perceive world class events as shaped for purely the West.
According to The Thesaurus online, Eurocentrism has been variously defined as an attitude, conceptual apparatus, or set of empirical beliefs that frame Europe or “ the West “as the primary engine and architect of world history, the bearer of universal values and reason, and the pinnacle and therefore model of progress and development.
Our intention is not to classify athletes by race but to stress why our editorial ?️? intends to give a balance to the Status Quo established by the mainstream media.
When studying the craft of reporting, Journalists shall aways remember that– In order to scrupulously respect the Codes for Excellence Journalism, of The International Federation of Journalists Code of Conduct, the article 8 on its second paragraph regards malicious misrepresentation as Gross misconduct.
“This international Declaration is proclaimed as a standard of professional conduct for journalists engaged in gathering, transmitting, disseminating and commenting on news and information in describing events.
The article reads:
8. The journalist shall regard as grave professional offences the following: * plagiarism; * malicious misrepresentation; * calumny, slander, libel, unfounded accusations; * acceptance of a bribe in any form in consideration of either publication or suppression.
Kind Regards,
The Editor ?️?

Dear ALL,
This season, The Bridge Magazine ?️? resembles and is emblematic of the colours of the universality of The Olympic rings and spirit.
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games is an event set to go down in history as hospitality has become France’s second skin: the country is expected to host the greatest sporting extravaganza on earth. The French are expected to pay tribute to Olympia- the first ever ancient site on Greece’s Peloponnese peninsula that hosted the original Olympic Games, throughout the 8th century B.C and showcase their finesse in their art of hosting and hospitality.
The symbolism of the Olympic flame and the Torch Relay
Not only the flame represents the continuity between ancient and modern games but also, as a tradition, the Olympic flame is lit at Olympia in Greece, several months before the Olympic Games as if modern mankind was asking to Zeus, the God of Humanity to bless and protect the athletes and ensure their safety as well as the success of the ceremony as a whole.
It is believed in the context of the modern Games; the Olympic flame is a manifestation of the positive values that humans have always associated with the symbolism of fire and thus, making the link between the ancient and the modern Games.
The Olympic flame symbolises the light of spirit, knowledge and life. By passing the flame from a person to another in stages, the Torch Relay expresses the passing down of this symbolic fire from generation to generation.
Kind Regards,
The Editor ?️?
