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.

During the London 2012 Games, when they combined those forged Olympic rings, with that song playing in the backround, it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and heard.

It was absolutely mesmeric! London had to follow the money and man power of Beijing, which was no easy task, but on a MUCH smaller budget, with pure imagination and ingenuity they managed it, and then some!

1. Athens 2. Beijing 3. Barcelona 4. Moscow Being the birthplace of Olympics, by itself, gives a huge advantage to Greece. Their ceremony captured the essence of Olympic Games 100%. Meaningful, artistic and the best BY FAR. Beijing was amazing too, as was Barcelona. Moscow, which is not even mentioned in the video, was praised even by the West, for the opening ceremony. Considering the fact that Moscow Olympiad was held back in 1980, it was a spectacular one. London was also nice along with Sydney. But Atlanta was a joke! I remember that we were watching the ceremony on TV and we couldn't stop laughing with the kitch that was unflolding before our eyes...

A list of ten best Olympic openings (Summer Games), not to mention Rio'2016 (a great ceremony) and Moscow'1980 (with the unforgettable mascot Misha)? I'm sorry, but this list is too flawed in its purpose.

Beijing Olympics is also my No.1 best Olympics opening ceremony. I was 15 back then. As an overseas Chinese in Thailand, I cried while watching it on TV, it was so amazing, and it made me so proud to be a Chinese, even though I have never been to China.

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!
