Marie Jose Perec has to be the hot favourite. 2 Gold Medals, Atlanta 1996 in the 200m and 400m. -

There was a special on Channel 7 last night showing a replay of the Ceremony interviews of performers from that evening. -

The conductor who was meant to start the whole performance with The Man From Snowy River, loses all communication. “So, he had no cue to go, it goes completely dead,” Mark Beretta admitted to Botica’s Bunch on Monday. “In his words he said, ‘I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t’, so he put his baton up in the air and started the orchestra, and that was the start of the Opening Ceremony.” Mark Beretta during a documentary about the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony to air tomorrow night. -

July-August 2021 is a sure bet now for the Olympics then we have Beijing in 2022 6 months later.

Nice find! Better than the GC 2018 Closing Ceremony which was a train wreck!

QSAC could be upgraded to serve as the main stadium for ceremonies as well as athletics and football finals

The Paralympic mascot fits well due to that the Winter Olympics are taking place during Lunar New Year festivities.

Your Favo(u)rite Olympic Tv Commercials

7's Sydney 2000 promos aired as early as 1999 were memorable. -

The full Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony uploaded by Olympic Channel to celebrate 11 years since that Opening Ceremony

Some rare finds. The much-criticised Gold Coast 2018 Closing Ceremony is no where to be seen.

Can't find the Gold Coast Ceremonies at all. Sadly the Closing was criticised by many Aussies on Twitter by host broadcaster 7 for not showing the athletes.

Like Sydney, the Beijing Cauldron was removed from the stadium and is now just outside the Bird's Nest. -
Gold Coast 2018 CWG Opening Ceremony
BigVic replied to AustralianFan's topic in Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games
Glad you enjoyed it. The countdown was from 65,000 years to 0 but it was something special. Talkback radio in Sydney criticised too much emphasis on Aboriginal people at the Opening Ceremony. Liked the Indigenous segments especially the welcome plus it was fitting that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags were raised at the Ceremony too. Overall it was much better than the embarrassment of Glasgow but not as good as Melbourne 2006. The flying whale at the finale was something special. I'd give it a 7.0/10- 181 replies
