Why are there two different Relays : an Olympic Torch Relay and a Paralympic Torch Relay?
There are two Relays because the Olympic Flame and the Paralympic Flame symbolise, respectively, the history and values of the Olympic Games and the history and values of the Paralympic Games.



Both relays serve the purpose of heralding the upcoming Games, whether they are Olympic or Paralympic.
