STORYLINE:

The Olympic flame has arrived in Salt Lake City in the US to mark the officials opening of the Winter Olympic Games on Friday night.

Travelling thousands of miles, and journeying across the US, torchbearers brought
the flame to the capital city of Utah.

Thursday evening the torchbearers stood at the Statehouse and then near the City Hall where the final torchbearers arrived amid cheers from thousands of onlookers.

The torch arrives on the eve of the Winter Olympic games, with opening ceremonies and early events set to begin Friday.

Friday evening ceremonies will bring the torch finally into Salt Lake's Rice-Eccles Stadium where it will remain for the duration of the games.

Despite security concerns, 55-thousand spectators will attend the opening, enduring long waits in cold temperatures to pass through metal detectors and have their belongings searched. Tickets cost between 400 to 885 US dollars.
