It's hard to pick a favorite caldron lighting of the Winter Olympics, but there were some that were absolute standouts for me. They were: Sarajevo 1984.... WOW, that was 40 years ago. The city is a much different place now ( formally Yugoslavia now Bosnia and Herzegovina today ) Calgary 1988 Lillehammer 1994....30 years ago... that ski jumper's entrance was part of the reason. Nagano 1998 Salt Lake City 2002.. it's amazing that they pulled it off six months after 9 / 11 / 2001, and the 1980 Lake Placid US Hockey Team lit the torch Turin / Torino 2006...one word: STYLE, Italians are well known for it. Can't wait to see what they can do 1 1/2 years from now in Milan / Cortina d' Ampezzo 2026 Sochi 2014..10 years ago... before Russia's doping hump was broken...but a unique lighting regardless And Pyoungchang 2018, celebrating the 30th ( now 36th ) anniversary of the Seoul 1988 Summer Olympics with theirs, now 6 years out. The least favorites: Beijing 2022, 2008 still was the best. Innsbruck part 2, 1976. Can you say fire hazard?! Nearly cooked the stadium with the double cauldrons. And Albertville 1992...low profile... I'm sure Paris in two weeks time won't be anything but LOW PROFILE, especially with the Seine River as a backdrop for the Opening Ceremonies. And that's that, hope you enjoy it...a little bit long LONG, but I did it 😊!

Thanks for sharing the videos from the past Winter Olympics of each moments since the 1952 through the 2014 Winter Olympics of the lighting of the Olympic flame into the cauldron. The best Winter Olympics moments of the flame was lighted to the cauldron in the past was Turin 2006, in my opinion.

Fun fact: The man who lit the cauldron at Sochi 2014, Vadislav Tretiak, was the former goalkeeper of the very Soviet ice hockey team that lost to Mike Eriuzione's 'Miracle on Ice' team who lit the Salt Lake City 2002 cauldron!

The Salt Lake City cauldron has recently been relocated and completely refurbished (due to the expansion of the Univ of Utah stadium) It still looks just as amazing/phenomenal as it did in 2002. And now anyone can visit the SW corner of the stadium to look at it.

It is, I would say that it is the best one when the final torchbearer Stefania Belmondo the lit the flame when she lit it on in the middle of the stadium then the flame bust across the stadium and up into the cauldron, it is the second best behind the Barcelona Summer Olympics in 1992.

It is, Turin was the best lighting of the flame of all the Winter Olympics on this video, second was 2018 when Yuna was given the honor, third I would say Sochi 2014. The 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid was the highlight with the Miracle on Ice winning it.

I hope that they picked Stockholm/Are, Sweden to host the 2030 Winter Olympics because they tried so desperately to host it since Sweden is traditionally a Winter Olympics powerhouse, but they never get the chance of giving the honor to host it, and they fell short in 2026 when they lost it to Milan/Cortina to make up the disappointment. Stockholm/Are for 2030.
