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. ย 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. ย The incident is already going viral and Jimmy Fallon wasted no time making fun of the incident.
