At a temple in Ancient Olympia, a flame is drawn from the sun to begin its journey to the Winter Games. The ceremony, inspired by ancient Greece, will take place again for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, as the torch crosses Italy.
Praying for the sun: What to know about the flame-lighting ceremony for the Winter Olympics
From Olympia — birthplace of the ancient games — to Milan’s San Siro Stadium on Feb. 6, the torch will cross Italy’s cities and cultural landmarks, carried by thousands of relay runners.

This is why I have stopped using Gmail except as the email that I give when online shopping. My main email is Proton now.
Google turned their service into a dumping ground for spam.
So that's how I use it.
