caption_attribution_description: PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL - JUST ENJOY. The Games of the XV Olympiad were celebrated in Helsinki from 19 July to 3 August 1952. Helsinki had expected to host the 1940 Olympic Games, but those Games had to be cancelled because of World War II. The most unforgettable moment of the Opening Ceremony was the entry of the Olympic flame. When the name of Paavo Nurmi flashed on the electric scoreboard, the Stadium was filled with thunderous applause. Athletes broke ranks in the infield to catch a glimpse of the legendary runner. Paavo Nurmi lit the Olympic flame in a cauldron on the field.

  The first Detour of the leg was a choice Swamp This or Swamp That, methods by which Finnish athletes keep themselves in shape during the warmer months. In Swamp This, teams have to trudge through a bog on cross country skis, completing a one-mile (1.6 km) course. In Swamp That, teams had to complete an obstacle course through a bog, requiring them to crawl, climb, and carry each other. At the end of both tasks, teams could grab their next clue from a clue box.
  The first Roadblock of the leg required one team member to ride a bike down a steep hill and search the Lohja mine for a marked dig site, where team members could retrieve a piece of limestone before returning to the starting point. They would then use the provided tools to break the limestone open to retrieve their next clue from inside.
  In the second Roadblock of the leg, one team member had to drive a Soviet T-64 Tank through a 1.5-mile (2,400 m) oval-shaped training course used for simulated military exercises to receive their next clue from an officer.
  The musical-themed Detour was a choice of Make the Music or Find the Music. For both tasks, teams had to dress up in appropriate attire. In Make the Music, teams traveled three miles (4.8 km) to Dance & Groove, a hip hop dance club part of Kiev's underground rap movement, and had to perform a rap song incorporating the names of all of the nations visited so far on the Race. When the judge approved teams' performances, they were given the next clue. In Find the Music, teams had to travel 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the Ukrainian National Music Academy. There, they had to search through thousands of pieces of sheet music for Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Concert Fantasia for Piano and Orchestra. When teams had the correct music, they needed to search 120 practice rooms to find one of six pianists to perform the piece for them before receiving their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  After arriving in Helsinki, teams made their way to Kappeli Café and found a marked laptop, which they used to log in to AOL to watch a video from their loved ones before receiving their next clue from the owner of the café.
  After traveling by train to Tampere, teams had to travel by taxi to the city of Ylöjärvi to find Soppeenharjun Koulu, where they followed a marked path outside the school for their next clue.
  The clue after the first Detour instructed teams to travel by train to Turku, then to the Tytyri Limestone Mine in the town of Lohja, for the next clue.
  At Helsinki Olympic Stadium, teams were sent the top of the 236-foot (72 m) tower. They then had to do a face-first rappel known as an Angel Dive. As teams completed this task, they receive their clue to inform that they have to keep racing. On broadcast on the second episode, the clue instead instructed teams to travel to the country of the Chernobyl disaster, and had to determine that their destination was Ukraine. Upon arrival in its capital of Kiev, they would find a Soviet-era Volga cars for transportation means along with their next clue.
  After completing the second Roadblock, teams were instructed to return to Kiev and knock on the door of a specified apartment for their next clue.
  Additional note
  Due to limited availability of flights out of Madagascar, teams were given tickets on a flight from Antananarivo to Paris, but were under no obligation to use them.
