I like that this thread gets resurrected every year! What can I say that hasn't been said already. Perfection.

Sydney was the first Games I really got to love venues and "study" them.
The Olympic Park masterplan at the time was great inspiration for me.

Im lucky to have worked at Sydney Olympic Park from 1990-1998.I saw it transfer from a run down abattoir to a superb Olympic venue.The atmosphere in the park and all around Sydney was something ill never forget.
Great times!

Coming up for 9 years now since the Sydney Games. Watched my opening ceremony video the other day, was just amazing, i love it

The games were at a time when the world was more peaceful than today, and everything just seemed to work. I hope Australia get to host the 2018 World Cup as it would just be such an amazing atmosphere and experience.

I used to think America could use a leader like Trudeau. Then came Obama, and now we may actually have one.

Supposedly, one of the "expletive deleteds" on the Nixon Tapes was Tricky Dick calling Trudeau something that rhymes with "mock trucker." Having lived long enough to have been told about it, he said, "I've been called worse things by better men." (Probably by Diefenbaker, Stanfield, Bourassa, Levesque, Clark, Mulroney... maybe even by Turner.)

Just once... just once... I'd like to see a Democratic President say to the media (which, of course, is dominated not by liberals but by conservatives), "So long, trained seals!"

Thanks
