Athens 2004 Summer Paralympics Torch
Official 2004 Athens Summer Paralympics torch, constructed of aluminum and olive wood, measuring 25.75″ in length and 2.25″ at its widest point, designed by Andreas Varotsos and manufactured by GA & L Harrington. The torch was modeled to reflect the simple and congruous lines of an olive tree leaf, with the union of wood and metal evoking the different colors found on either side of the leaf, and the ergonomic design representing the extension of the moving flame. The front of the aluminum sheath bears a label of the 2004 Paralympics emblem, which bears various scuffs and marks. The Olympic flame was lit in Olympia, Greece, on September 17, 2004, and a total of 705 torchbearers carried the Paralympics flame 410 km through 45 municipalities of Greece. This elegant torch includes its original shipping tube.
