The Olympic torch for the 2018 Winter Games was officially unveiled at the Gangneung Hockey Center in South Korea on Thursday.

The Torch is 70 centimeters tall, representing the altitude of the host city Pyeongchang, which sits 700 meters above sea level. And the white and gold tones, which are the main colors of the 2018 torch relay, represent the Winter Olympics.
