Beijing's opening ceremony finale was one of the greatest real-life spectacles I've ever seen on TV. An Olympic gold medalist running across the walls of the stadium in mid-air while a tapestry of previous athletes from different countries unraveled in the background with harmonizing music about world peace and unity before the Olympic torch at the top was finally lit!

You know what? That lighting the cauldron part WASN’T on the original plan. The original plan has a Fenghuang (basically a Chinese phoenix, except rarely associated with fire and rebirth) flying into the “nest” that is the stadium and lighting the fire. It was changed because a thrice-cursed (grrrrr!) South Korean broadcaster filmed and aired the rehearsal bit without permission.

The Athens 2004 Opening Ceremony is absolutely top of the list! Whilst all opening ceremonies from across the globe are lovely, no other opening ceremony has been able to showcase to such an incredible and elegant grandeur as what the Greeks did in 2004. Beijing is a close second. The history alone with these two countries can’t be topped - which they integrated into their ceremonies.

Beijing Olympic 2008 was an Epic. The grandeur in presenting the past & present had been impeccably pieced together. The most mesmerising part was the last torch bearer honoured his ‘space run’ before fired up the Olympic cauldron! Breath taking!
