When Usain Bolt thundered down the track to Olympic gold for Jamaica, he was the latest runner in a race that began almost 2,800 years ago.  

The very first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC in Olympia, ancient Greece.  

The torch, the events, the idea of nations meeting in friendly contest, all of it was passed, like a baton, from one century to the next until it reached the Caribbean. This lesson traces that relay.
