Beijing games were judged outstanding.

Sydney games still the greatest

Sydney has the biggest black mark of any games I can remember. The unfairness in womens gymastics ruined Khorkina, who had qualified 1st. She crashed off the vault and others struggled with it too until an Aussie came up to her turn and said "oh, the height of this apparatus is wrong". They should have let all the gymnasts start over as it had already wrecked the scores and nerves of many. Instead they gave an option of a do-over of that one event which was unfair.

In 1956, Melbourne might just as well have been Sydney. Apart from The Queen, who cared? :)

 

I certainly didn't, having not been born yet - so refreshing to be able to say that, for once.

 

Most people in my country, to this day, still can't point out the continent on a map. :(
