'How to become a champion in Milan?' - Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games are officially under way after a vibrant opening ceremony split across four locations.
Milan's iconic San Siro stadium was the primary venue, with elements of the ceremony also taking place in Cortina, Livigno and Predazzo.
Despite concerns over the logistics of a multi-location ceremony, it was an impressive production that went off without a hitch.
Two Olympic cauldrons were lit - one in Milan and the other in Cortina - with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performing a rousing rendition of Nessun Dorma as the torch entered the San Siro.
