I'm interested in the Olympics. What is the Olympic torch relay?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The Olympic torch relay is a tradition where the Olympic flame is lit in Greece and then carried by runners to the host city of the Olympics, symbolizing the connection between ancient and modern Olympic Games.<|im_end|>

That sounds cool. Who gets to carry the torch?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The torchbearers are chosen by the Olympic organizers and can include athletes, celebrities, and ordinary people who have made significant contributions to their communities.<|im_end|>

I'd love to see it in person one day. When does the relay usually start?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The Olympic torch relay typically starts several months before the opening ceremony of the Olympics, giving the flame time to travel to the host city.<|im_end|>
