Sydney 2000 OC - Cathy Freeman Lights The Olympic Cauldron
BackThe biggest moment of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening ceremony. An innovative way of lighting the Olympic Flame to the cauldron by Atlanta 1996 Olympic silver medalist in the women's 400m event at the time: Cathy Freeman. She went on to win the Olympic gold medal in these Games in the same women's 400m event. Note: Very sorry for the poor quality of the picture near the end of this clip. The VCR tape I had this recorded on was showing its age and I was concerned that I was going to lose this entire show because of that. I know that there is other YouTube uploads of this scene. You may want to look them up for better quality than this clip. At the end of this clip, fireworks go off at one of Stadium Australia, as the cauldron itself was assisted mechanically, to officially conclude the opening ceremony of these Games.

At last, can't you see the symbolism of the Athens 2004 lighting? It is the cauldron that comes to meet the athlete! Man dominates the machines. Human beings were the centre of the Athens 2004 opening ceremony! That's all. Nothing more, nothing less...

its so sad how it malfunctioned and it stood there for like 5 minutes! but i think beijing did a better job for an opening ceremony,maybe its only because i'm chinese and i have to support them!!! lol!

I am also Chinese and I am Malaysia. I also support Beijing that they did well. Well,2 more years later,Winter Olympic is in your own country, Vancouver

I´m not Chinese, but i liked Beijing a lot, but I believe the beautiful one has been Athens...

Sydney put on one of the most spectacular (if not) the best games in history. With such a profound year "2000" it will be easily remembered for years to come. Beijing came pretty close though...

this would have been the best by far if it did not malfunction, what a pity.
