Buenos Aires 2018 will mark a historic milestone for the Olympic Movement on Sunday, September 30, for the Torch Tour that will travel through the streets of Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.
The president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, will be the guest of honour at the relay that will also have the presence of the head of the Organising Committee for the third Summer Youth Olympic Games, Gerardo Werthein.
The relay will mark the southernmost point that the “sacred fire” has ever been. On August 5 it started its journey through Argentina to promote the Olympic values of respect, friendship and excellence, and has covered more than 14,000 kilometres.
