Milan, Apr 14 (AP) Organizers for the Milan-Cortina Olympics on Monday unveiled a sleek and minimalistic metallic design for the torches that will be used in the traditional relay ahead of next year's Winter Games. The torches will be made primarily out of recycled materials, with a design system that lets the fuel canister be refilled up to 10 times — reducing the number of torches that will be needed, organizers said. Made from an aluminum and brass alloy, the Olympic torch features a blue-green hue while the Paralympic version is bronze colored.

By concentrating on the simplicity of the design, the flame becomes the main protagonist.” The Olympic flame will arrive in Rome on Dec. 4 and will begin its journey across Italy two days later.
