It costs so much to burn they only run it for two hours. A full two weeks would cost $200K. Ain\u2019t nobody laying down the Benjamin\u2019s for that. So every two years we get to see the flames. It is nice. By the time I arrived after work the crowd had dispersed and even more so when it started to rain. Then promply at 6:00pm out it went. See you in a few years Cauldron. You are beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/69n2KPSam5M?si=XeiofmdJBue5tF14\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Olympics they fire up Vancouver\u2019s Olympic Cauldron at the start of the Opening Ceremony.
