Asian Games flame to arrive in Incheon Wednesday

The 2014 Asian Games torch will arrive in the host city of Incheon on Wednesday, two days before the opening ceremony of the Games, the organizers said Monday. The flame was lit on Aug. 9 in New Delhi, India, where the first Asian Games was held in 1951. Another torch was ignited four days later on top of Mt. Mani on Ganghwa Island in South Korea for a reunion with the flame lit in India. The unified torch, dubbed "the flame of the future," will burn for the duration of the Games at the main stadium in Incheon, west of Seoul, said the organizing committee of the 17th Asian Games which will continue through Oct. 4.
