It was sensational. I know a lot of the American's would have been thinking "man, what the hell are the ozzziezs doing, running around with iron doors and power saws."
But if they're too naive to learn about Australian History, well thats their problem.
For any american's on here, don't take that personally. Because, i know there would have been quite a few American's thinking that, not neccesearilly the ones on this board.
Anyway, it was great, the lighting of the flame was spectacular and who would of thought Cathy Freeman.
Also, i have heard a strong rumour that Athen Olympic Committee are going broke and that Sydney could host the games again in 2004.
With Melbourne (i think) showing a strong bid for 2008 (they may be going for 2010 Commonwealth game, not sure) it could be 3 Australian Olympics in a row.
