Tonight: Nazis and the Olympics torch, a "lane splitting" C-17, blue dunes on Mars, and very expensive fries

Was the Olympics Torch Relay a Tool of Nazi Propaganda?

In July 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Olympic flame did not make its traditional relay route through numerous countries in order to light the cauldron in Tokyo, Japan, for the start of the games. Normally the flame is transferred from one torch to another in a relay across nations, but in March 2020, starting in Olympia, Greece, the flame was flown directly to Japan where it waited as organizers scrambled to reschedule the postponed games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But where did this tradition originate from? Snopes reporter Nur Ibrahim reports.

URGENT: Save Our Snopes

Dear Debunker readers,

Four years ago, we launched a GoFundMe campaign to fight off legal threats, SLAPP lawsuits, and a takeover attempt by hostile shareholders. Many of you stood up and helped, and we cannot tell you how much we appreciate it. We thought we’d have good news to share with you by now, but that is unfortunately not the case.

Although every major court ruling has been in our favor so far, the point of these lawsuits has been — always — to bleed Snopes dry. Now, on the verge of trial, the years of constant legal battles have your favorite fact-checkers in need of rescue.

That’s why we’re launching one more campaign to Save Our Snopes. Will you help us?
