After defeating 65 thousand kilometers, visiting the space and Lake Baikal, the Olympic torch arrived in Sochi, where on Friday, 7th February, the Winter Games will begin. Before the opening ceremony, even 300 people, including many celebrities, will raise the torch.

In the last stage of the journey, the Olympic Flame will go from Adler, where the airport is located, to Krasnaya Polyana. Also a trip by yacht in the Black Sea is planned, as well as a visit to the Ferris wheel in Sochi.

Among those who will still carry the Olympic flame there is the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Russian television star Vladimir Pozner and Defense Minister of this country Sergei Shoigu. It still remains a mystery who will light a candle on the opening ceremony, which will take place today at 20:14 local time (17:14 CET).

Lithuania will be represented by 9 athletes, Poland - by 59.
