Sydney 2000 Olympic Games - Olympic Flame & Opening Ceremony 

An Olympiad is the time interval between the Olympic Games.

Wow only a few days ago it was announced that brisbane will host 2032 olympics. You just predicted it.

yes👌👍👏

".... its population." Size is definitely not something Australia lacks.

It should be Melbourne

Sydney 2000 and Melbourne 1956 have had them. We are unlikely to see the Olympic in Australia for another 50 years. We however do have the Commonwealth Games (former British Empire Games) regularity which is about 65 nations and 1/3 of humanity.

Let's push for 2040!

YES!!!!!

@@adrianjackson2696 Brisbane's going for 2032

yes best Olympic ever for ever

They used a fake british announcer, they edited out the REAL Australian actor, John Stanton!

yes me too

Best Olympic ever for ever

Sydney, not Sidney!

There's a whole documentary on the Sydney 200 games sharing some of the success stories of the game. Produced by the great Bud Greenspan. The Olympic YT page has it... you will hear this music in it.

Memorable mishaps were the three-quarter lighting of the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games cauldron and the fifth ring fail at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games. We who were watching the Sydney Olympic Games opening ceremony on television in the U.S. never detected the delay as a glitch. The immensity of the cauldron with the cascading water is something that can only be appreciated by staring at it in awe for a long period of time, the same way one admires the Sydney Opera House. In 2002, I visited Sydney and stood under the cauldron like Cathy Freeman did.. (No, I didn't raise a lit candle above my head pretending it was a torch.) A few years ago, a visiting Aussie told me of the technical problems in 2000, so I never knew about it until recently.

but without that glitch, this cauldron lighting wouldn’t be as memorable.

yes man 👌
