Flame is the most important symbol of Olmpics. It is the important Link between the 
Ancient Olymics and Modern Olympics . The tradition of lighiting a flame is started 
in ancient Greece. In ancient Games the organizers kept the flame throughout the events. Before several months of Olympic Games , the Olympic Flame is lit at Olympia, Greece and Flame countines to burn  in the pot like vessel for duration of the Games and extinguished in closing ceremony of Olymic Games.

On the final day of torch relay flame reaches in main stadium and used to light the cauldron on the venue and signify the beginning of the Games.

Olympic Salute

The Olympic salute is a variant of the Roman Salute with the right arm and hand stretched and pointing upward, the palm outward and downward, with the fingers touching. However, unlike the Roman Salute, the arm is raised higher and at an angle to the right from the shoulder.The greeting is visible on the official posters of the games at Paris 1924 and Berlin 1936.

The Olympic salute has fallen out of use since World war because of its resemblance to the Nazi Salute. It was used by the French team in the opening ceremony of the 1948 Winter Olympics. The Japanese team also used it in the march past in Melbourne in 1956. It is seen briefly in the official Olympic Games documentary film. The last time before that which Japan competed in an Olympics was, coincidentally, in Berlin in 1936.
