UPDATE:  The Parisian portion of the relay was cancelled due to chaos along the route with protesters forcing the police to extinguish the flame at least five times (CNN, 4/7/08). 

The Olympic Torch Relay kicked off on March 24th with its lighting in front of the Temple of Hera on the historic grounds of Olympia. As it makes it journey, the torch will travel to 21 cities within five continents before reaching China.

Currently, the torch is travelling through London where it has met with protests over China’s human rights records, causing the torch relay to travel part of the way in a bus to avoid protestors.
