Preparations for the Olympic Torch Handover Ceremony are completely in place, Minos Kyriakou, president of the Hellenic Olympic Committee (HOC) said on Saturday.

At the press briefing jointly organized by HOC and BOCOG, Kyriakou assured reporters that Greece is ready for Sunday, but he refused to provide details on the ceremony, saying that he'd like to keep it a surprise as it will be broadcast live around the world.

He reflected on the sacred flame's journey through big cities and remote villages in Greece, where it withstood tests of rain and snow. Through the hands of torchbearers, the flame sampled passages of Greek history and ignited passions for the Olympic Flame, bringing out the Olympic spirit while conveying a message of Olympic peace to the world.

On March 30, the sacred flame will leave from the ancient Acropolis in Athens to its last destination in Greece. BOCOG will be presented with the sacred flame at the torch handover ceremony, which will take place in Panathenaikon Stadium, the site of the first modern-day Olympic Games.

Wang Wei, executive vice-president and secretary general of BOCOG, said the Olympic Flame is the premier symbol for the Olympic ideal and spirit. Its pursuit of "excellence, friendship, and respect" stands for human beings' common values.

The Torch Handover Ceremony between Greece and China will mark a new chapter in the history of the modern Olympics as it manifests the integration of the Olympic spirit which was originally born by western civilizations and is now being extended to the most long-standing oriental culture.

Wang spoke about the short pageant that is scheduled to be hosted in Tian'anmen Square as the flame arrives in Beijing. The Chinese people have been long anticipating its appearance, dreaming about the international symbol of hope and peace.

Qu Yingpu, spokesperson of the Olympic Torch Relay Center, told reporters that before the handover ceremony, the Olympic torch will travel a distance of more than 1,000 km and involve 629 torchbearers, 26 of whom are Chinese.

He continued to say that the torch relay has deepened mutual friendship between people in Greece and China. Greek fans braving rain and snow to welcome the Olympic torch as it moved through the peninsula have left an indelible impression on him.

The Olympic Torch will travel across five continents.
