Olympic flame goes out during torch relay and has to be re-lit by lighter

As Russia got ready to kick off the Olympic flame relay for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, the flame went out because of the wind.  The flame then had to be lit by a handheld lighter, but I think it is safe to assume that the mother flame was used to re-light it later on.  The incident is already going viral and Jimmy Fallon wasted no time making fun of the incident.

Vladimir Putin lit the Olympic torch and minutes later a gust of wind blew it out. Related: The wind is now “missing.” #fallonmono
