The torch is always lit in Olympia, Greece and travels from there to wherever the Olympics are being held, thus it can't always travel by land.

It took a really long time when the torch traveled on that freeway across the Indian Ocean to Australia in 2000.

Okay, at the time of parsing the clue, the thought of the torch traveling didn't make any sense. I thought they lit it on location.

Because there are cities named Bowling Green in both states. (In fact, the one in Kentucky is twice as populous as the one in Ohio.) I was pretty sure the school was in Ohio, as I have made that mistake before, but I made sure to wait for the rebound opportunity rather than jump in immediately.

I've made that same mistake in the past, but I have now learned from my mistakes and pretty soon, you will too.
