The Olympic Torch entered the stadium in the hand of Alberto Tomba, who then passed the flame to the hands of the 1994 men's Italian ski relay team. The flame was then passed to Pierro Gros, then Deborah Compagnoni before the Olympic Flame was lit by former Italian cross-country skier Stefania Belmondo. Belmondo paused to show the torch to the cheering crowd one last time before placing it on the arched lighting apparatus. The flame ignited a series of fireworks before lighting the top of the 57-meter high Olympic Flame, the highest in the history of the Olympic Winter Games.

I'd like to encourage you to learn chemisrty instead. The alchemists tried and tried to make lead into gold and similar things. Now we know that it cannot be done. They wasted their time. Don't waste yours. Learn and make something of yourself.
