Olympic flame
Sochi 2014 torchFor the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, the cauldron was situated directly outside Fisht Olympic Stadium, the ceremonial venue for the Games. After the torch's lap around the stadium, Irina Rodnina and Vladislav Tretiak carried the torch outside the stadium to light a larger version of the celebration cauldron used in the main torch relay at the center of the Olympic Park. A line of gas jets carried the flame from the celebration cauldron up the main cauldron tower, eventually lighting it at the top.
