{{Short description|None}} {{Redirect|Route of the Olympic Torch|road in California|California county routes in zone A#A1}} {{Olympic Games infobox}} The '''Olympic torch relay''' is the ceremonial relaying of the [[Olympic flame]] from [[Olympia, Greece|Olympia]], Greece, to the site of an [[Olympic Games]]. It was introduced at the [[1936 Summer Olympics]] in [[Berlin]], as a way for [[Adolf Hitler]] to highlight the Nazi claim of [[Aryan race|Aryan]] connections of Germany to Greece.<ref>Bowlby, Chris. [https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7330949.stm "The Olympic torch's shadowy past"], ''[[BBC News]]'', 2008-03-05. Retrieved on 2009-10-21.</ref> It has taken place prior to every Games since.
Although in the past some Olympic organizing committees organized torch relays which encompassed multiple countries, the [[International Olympic Committee]] now restricts international relays due to the protests during the [[2008 Summer Olympics torch relay]], in which the relay was met with protests at several international sites on its way to [[Beijing]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/sports/othersports/28torch.html |title=I.O.C.
