Beijing 2022 has explained the thought process behind its Torchbearer uniforms and lantern, which were seen for the first time this week as the Flame for next year's Winter Olympics was ignited in Greece.

Beijing 2022 has announced plans for a scaled-back domestic Torch Relay with the Flame now touched down on Chinese soil.

The Olympic Flame has been passed on to Beijing 2022 in a low-key handover ceremony at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. 

Human rights groups say they are worried that the Chinese Government will attempt to influence legal proceedings against activists who unveiled banners at the Acropolis protesting against the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games yesterday.

The three protesters who waved Tibetan flags and a banner as the Beijing 2022 Olympic Flame was being kindled in Ancient Olympia have been detained overnight and are to appear before a court insidethegames understands.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach and Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou have signed a declaration of the Olympic Truce or "Ekecheiria".

The Beijing 2022 Olympic Flame is now heading to Athens, but the Lighting Ceremony here was interrupted by protests over China's human rights record. 

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has cut the ribbon to reopen the "magical and spiritual premises" of the International Olympic Academy (IOA) on a sunlit evening in Ancient Olympia.

The final rehearsal for the Olympic Flame Lighting Ceremony was conducted under cloudy skies but organisers have confirmed to insidethegames that a Flame lit yesterday will be held in reserve to be used in the event that cloud cover prevents the igniting of the Flame from the rays of the sun at the Ceremony tomorrow.

Two arrests were made at the Acropolis in Athens after protesters waved Tibetan flags and unfurled a banner reading "Free Hong Kong Revolution."

The International Olympic Committee’s Presidential spokesman Mark Adams has brushed aside concerns about possible protests at the Olympic Torch Lighting Ceremony in Olympia for Beijing 2022.

Short track speed skater Li Jiajun, a four-time Olympian, has been named as the first Chinese Torchbearer for the Beijing 2022 Flame.

With only three days to go until the Olympic Flame Lighting Ceremony for Beijing 2022, performers were forced to rehearse inside by a prolonged downpour which briefly flooded the grounds of the Ancient Stadium in Olympia.
