After the Olympic flame is born, Greek actress Katerina Lehou, who will serve as High Priestess in the lighting ceremony, will light the torch of her compatriot and cross-country skier Apostolos Angelis to start the torch relay.
He will then pass the flame to South Korean football icon Park Ji-sung. A total of 7,500 torchbearers will travel 2,018 kilometers in South Korea before the Olympic flame arrives at the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony on Feb. 9, 2018.
