Olympic Torch Motorcade Presented in Moscow

The Olympic torch will arrive in Moscow on Sunday to begin a four-month journey around Russia before the start of the Sochi Winter Games on Feb. 7.

The torch bearers, as shown above depicted on billboards on the Red Square, will each run 150 to 200 meters with the torch in a relay beginning at Vasilyevsky Spusk next to St. Basil's Cathedral before traveling south to Moscow State University.

The route the torch will take goes through the city, largely along the Moscow River embankment back toward Red Square. The next day it will be taken into the Moscow metro, to Ostankino TV tower, schools and hospitals.

A motorcade of Volkswagen cars that will travel with the torch was presented at an event in the Kremlin on Thursday. A total of 31 vehicles will take part.
