Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted August 13, 2004 4 years of anguish and mad scramble at building everything, 4 years of misery for Athens due to the works, 6 billion euros spent, but after watching this, I must say it was worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

llauma 0 Posted August 13, 2004 So what do you think about the Konstadinos Kenteris and Ekaterini Thanou issue? They missed a doping test and later they both were in a motorcycle accident. Now they can't be tested or questioned until they are released from the hospital. It's not the first time they have missed a test. These two are propably the two biggest stars in Greece and Kenteris was propably the one who was supposed to lit the olympic flame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Strange nobody posted any pics of some of the 15.000 street dogs that were poisoned because of the great event, i saw on the TV news this morning, shocking, brutal and inhuman. I know because ive seen a animal die of poisoning when i was a kid, its not fast nor pretty . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 13, 2004 Was a very good opening ceremony....and that's from someone who usually cringes the whole way through this sort of thing. There's a couple of things they did I'd love to know how they did.....especially the Double Helix. Only disappointing thing I thought were the endless athlete's parade (they have to re-think how to do this) and Bjork (who I love, but this was a bit off...).
