Api Olimpik: Perbezaan antara semakan

'''Api Olimpik''', '''Obor Olimpik''', dan '''Cahaya Olimpik''' semuanya merupakan nama-nama bagi satu lambang promosi [[Sukan Olimpik]]. Asal-usulnya terletak di [[Yunani Kuno]] di mana sebuah api dibiarkan bernyala sepanjang sambutan [[sukan Olimpik Kuno]], serta memperingati kecurian api ini dari dewa [[Zeus]] oleh [[Prometheus]]. Api ini diperkenalkan semula pada [[Olimpik Amsterdam 1928|Sukan Olimpik 1928]] di [[Amsterdam]], dan semenjak itu menjadi sebati dengan Sukan Olimpik. Larian obor dari [[GreeceYunani]] ke tapak sukan moden itu tiada dalam temasya Olimpik kuno, sebaliknya diperkenalkan oleh [[Carl Diem]], dengan sokongan [[Joseph Goebbels]], di [[Olimpik Berlin 1936]] yang diselubungi kontroversi sebagai cara memupuk fahaman Nazi.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/14/sports/Olimpik/14torch.html?ex=1207972800&en=732b3844bc19c839&ei=5070</ref>
