0:00:38 > 0:00:41Here's a fact-erino. The first Olympic Games were held in

0:00:41 > 0:00:42the eighth century in Greece.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Means it only gets a birthday pressie every four years.- Mm.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- What pressie would you get the Olympics?- An Olympic torch.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58- A torch? Bo-ring!- Nah, the Olympics loves a good torch. In fact,

0:00:58 > 0:01:00people have been known to run with the Olympic torch all across

0:01:00 > 0:01:04the globe, handing it from person to person, until it gets to the

0:01:04 > 0:01:05Olympic Stadium.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- They don't want to miss its birthday.- And they want to

0:01:07 > 0:01:10get the torch there before the batteries run out, otherwise

0:01:10 > 0:01:11the stadium would be in darkness.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15And nobody likes a birthday pressie without batteries.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29They're more famous than CBBC's Hacker T Dog.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- All right, Zig and Zag? - Each circle represents a continent,

0:01:33 > 0:01:35joined together to unite the globe.
