Answer:
Although a flame burned from a tower at both the 1928 Amsterdam and 1932 Los Angeles Games, it wasn't until 1936, ahead of the Berlin Olympics, that a flame was first lit during a lighting ceremony in Ancient Olympia, Greece.
The Olympic Flame was ignited in March 2004 in ancient Olympia, Greece, and resided for several weeks at Athens' historic Panathenaic Stadium – home of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 – before beginning its worldwide journey.
The pictograms were inspired by Norwegian petroglyphs - rock carvings thousands of years old. They reinforced the idea of the Games returning to the birthplace of winter sports."
In 1921, the International Olympic Committee gave its patronage to a Winter Sports Week to take place in 1924 in Chamonix, France. This event was a great success, attracting 10,004 paying spectators, and was retrospectively named the First Olympic Winter Games.
