Extreme Torch Relay from the Greek: Ακραίος ηλεκτρονόμος φανών is a newly introduced event for the 2008 Olympics. The participants are divided into two teams. The objective of the Relay team is to carry the Olympic torch to the goal. The Blocking team is to prevent the Relay team from carrying the torch, and if possible, to extinguish the flame of the torch. Both teams are allowed to use various tools such as cars, fire extinguishers, flags, etc. The Relay team consists of torch runners, policemen and the people who support the Olympic host country. Anyone who has expressed their reason to block the torch relay may join the Block team.
