Nikos Konstandaras sees protest as a sign of the Olympic flame's significance

The protests that met the Olympic flame on its rally around the world underline the flame's modern significance, writes columnist Nikos Konstandaras. The flame and its tour "are a strange mix of antique hocus-pocus, contemporary nonsense and real emotions. ... In essence, the flame is a concept in which a pop interpretation of what constitutes antiquity is yoked to the need to sell the Games to an international audience in the best possible way. But that which gives true value to the ceremony is the expectation of the public and the people's sense that there truly is a connection between today's Olympics and those of antiquity. ... The passion with which the organizers and state officials try to protect it, and the intensity with which demonstrators have tried to disrupt its course indicate that the symbol of the Olympic Flame has become global and is very much alive."
