But Sydney did it well by linking it to Australia's beautiful scenery. I swear to you that after that games (it's true, they were the best ever) and still today, I want to visit Australia (and NZ as well). mc, here is Athens 2004 opening ident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Gd4BzVr1k It’s true the overkill of athletes in openers.

Brings back memories. Do you have a copy of the 2004 opener, with the stringed musicians playing in the background. Had much more impact than the music used this year. Thanks for posting.
