Updated | By Kriya Gangiah
As the Olympic torch makes its way to the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics, someone tried to extinguish it.
The Olympic torch relay is a time-honored tradition and began in April this year as we lead up to the opening of the games on the 5th of August.
While on its final leg in Brazil a man attempted to douse the flame with a fire extinguisher. No explanation has been given for the attempt, however it was unsuccessful.
This is unfortunately not the only incident the Olympic Torch has encountted this year.
