The torch for the World University Games in Lake Placid has an unique significance.
“A torch embodies brightness, energy and strength, reflecting the qualities that university athletes personify,” a storyteller claimed. It took a trip from the residence of University Sport – Torino, Italy – to Pier 45 in New York City and also around every one of New York state prior to locating its method to Lake Placid this month.
“We melted some ice over that flame and it turned into water. We poured it into the torch and the water gave life to the torch that we have here,” claimed Karlan Jessen, the head of the FISU World University Games heritage and also sustainability initiatives.
“The torch is actually the vessel that the spirit of the games travels in,” she claimed.
