In a ceremony on Wednesday, historic Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece once again shared the Olympic flame, this time for Nanjing, host of the 2014 Youth Olympic games.

Once they had the flame, Chinese torchbearers Jiang Fan and Sun Ziyue took part in the first four legs of the torch relay accompanied by two Greek torchbearers.

Jiang, 25, was the 110-meter hurdle champion at the 2013 Asian Athletic Championships, while Sun Ziyue, 18, took home gold in tennis at the 2013 Asian Youth Games.
