Sydney 2000 OC - Cathy Freeman Lights The Olympic Cauldron

Uploaded by: rockies77
Video Description:
The 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.

Fue una ceremonia brillante, muy bonita en la ambientación musical con una orquesta y un coro en directo, cosa que ya no se hace, y especialmente el momento del encendido si no hubiera sido porque se estropeó el sistema por unos buenos minutos habría quedado excelente. No obstante la musica fué preciosa, y los juegos excelentes.

simply THE BEST lighting of the cauldron up to date. not even beijing matched this one. btw, wouldnt it have even been better if fireworks went off the rims of the ceilings like they did in athens and beijing?

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...

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

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...
