los mejores juegos olimpicos fueron los de sidney la verdad esa encendida de la llama olimpica fue impresionante para mi que mucho + que la de china por que es que encenderla en el agua es muy bello me encantaron al igual que atlanta y atenas china tambien fue hermoso pero no le llega a la talla que sidney lo digo aunque sea colombiano.

Woot! Someone with perspective at last. Thank you. All it takes is someone to accept that this is entirely subjective. Of course, this whole discussion started because someone insisted Beijing 08 borrowed from Athens 04 the exact same elements that were also in Sydney 00 - all of which had reason in their own cultures to have those elements. I was really just trying to point out to this person how silly their claim was. Having a preference is fine. Letting it blind you to fact is immature.

Aylyese, i still believe that Athens 2004 have been the best olympic games so far. Based on a human scale, Athens 2004 Games illuminated the humanitarian principles, celebrating the human being itself. Athens 2004 focused on the human brain and its achievements. It was not just a show of greek history; it was a hymn to the man. Athens opening ceremony renewed the aesthetics of the opening ceremonies; Of course this is a subjective thesis. Beijing as well as Sydney were spectacular, too.

Panadem: "Whether you like it or not Athens opening ceremony was by far the best!"In YOUR opinion. The problem on here is not jealousy. Its the typical egotistical tweenagers who can't handle the fact that other people think differently to them.Athens bored the shit out of me. So "whether you like it or not" I found Athens to be the longest, most painful 4 hours of my life - and that takes some monumental effort considering I have been in labour 5 times. Time to learn to deal with life, hun.

Whether you like it or not Athens opening ceremony was by far the best! Sydney did not differ from the typical Atlantas's opening, except for the lighting, that was truly amazing! Beijing, was spectacular, Barcelona artistic. But Athens was authentic, "unforgetable, dream", poetic, the way it should be...Athens has been the one and only opening ceremony that "hymned" the human race, the diversity of humanity. Greeks wanted a modest, "doric" celebration, exactly as an athlete's way of life...

la mejor ceremonia fue la de Sydney o Atenas, seamos sinceros, la de China fue muy impresionante, pero se nota que no es original ya tienen mucho PERO MUCHO de las ceremonias de Moscú, Sydney y Atenas.

Oooh, So Sydney can be delighted too - seeing how Athens copied the Sydney 2000 artistic elements. =) Awesome. Thanks Cobalt.Deny it all you like, but they did. Greece couldn't even get their stadiums finished in time. The swimming arena was meant to be "inside". Yeah, the rest of the world is *so* jealous of Athens lack of organisation, borrowed Opening Ceremony elements, and big cigar looking cauldron. Terribly, terribly jealous. Get over yourselves already.

Add Beijing on here. That whole ceremony left me with my jaw open! |
