Two Russian cosmonauts have taken the torch for the Sochi Winter Olympics on a historic first spacewalk, ahead of next year's Games in Russia.

Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky posed for
photographs as they waved the torch outside the International Space Station (ISS) 261 miles (420km) above Earth.

The torch was unlit inside the ISS because of safety concerns and outside due to the lack of an oxygen system.
