3, 1976 Montreal satellite relay Olympic flame.

The sports meeting officially opened on July 17. The Olympic torch relay took a different way. It was lit in Olympia on July 13.

At that time, the flame lit in Greece was captured by the sensor of ionized flame particles and transmitted to Ottawa on the other side of the world, and the Olympic flame was copied by decoding the pulse signal from the satellite. The torch relay lasted only five days, and more than 1200 torchbearers participated in the relay. In order to show reverence for the birthplace of the Olympic flame, olive oil was used as the fuel of the torch, and for the first time, a man and a woman ran into the Olympic stadium with the torch and lit the torch tower.
