What's the best Olympic Touch ignition ever?

Question

For me, the one in Barcelona (1992).... amazing!!!!!

The one in Atlanta, Athens and Sydney.... a bit cheesy

This one in Beijing.... very impressive indeed

Answer 1

Torch I think you meant.

Yeah Barcelona was very clever, Sydney was nerve racking when the cauldron stalled on lift off and Cathy Freeman was left standing there for about thirty seconds wondering if the bloody thing would start moving.

I think the saddest one was Atlanta with a Parkinson Affected Ali shaking as he lit the flame.

Answer 2

Barcelona was the most creative and I loved seeing Cathy Freeman in Sydney but to see Muhammad Ali light the flame will always be one  those goosebump moments for me.

Answer 3

Barcelona, without a doubt.

The flaming arrow was a complete surprise for me and it was SO exciting to watch! In fact, I still remember that as the highlight of those Olympic Games for me.

I missed the lighting of the Beijing torch (I had to work) so have no idea how they did it, therefore I can't include it, but I'm positive that whatever they did to light it was nowhere near as thrilling as that awesome flaming arrow.

Answer 4

I still think 1992 in Barcelona was the best.

That flaming arrow was priceless.

Answer 5

1992 By Far!!!!!!  The arrow was sensational!!!!

Answer 6

Hmm...
