Yes, we all felt proud that night and the week after that...What we DID NOT know was in how much financial dept this "game" idea were going to sink Greece into...
WELL...OF COURSE HE FEELS PROUD!!! All Greeks felt proud that night! Personally I was even crying! Now that I am seeing it again I have goosebumps all over my body!

Everytime I see this video I cry, cant hold tears. No movie or stupid television shit come tears to my eyes as watching the sacrifice of sport. Olympus Gods must be so proud of this.
To be fair to Beijing and all the other hosts, it was natural for Greece to do an amazing ceremony. No one knows you better than you mother... and Greece is the mother of the Games.

I remember that all my family was at the beach, but I stayed home, because I´ve never lost any transmission of the ceremonies. I´m Spanish (from Andalucía, so also Mediterranean), and I´ve always loved Greek culture, specially their mythology.

The Greek Gods were on earth following the ceremony with mortals.
Their magic filled the night and everything we watched was really spectacular from the start to the finish!!
That's the best Opening Ceremony for Olympic Games I have ever watched.
I am Mexican,and had the opportunity to have followed this ceremony in my job by noon in my lunch time,due to the difference of hours between Greece and Mexico.
¡¡Pero por supuesto que estoy de acuerdo contigo,ya que me doy cuenta que admiras la cultura Griega!!
Claro que hablo Español,ya que soy 100% Mexicano,pero también domino el Inglés,y me estoy proponiendo a aprender el Griego,ya que ese idioma me gusta mucho.
Yo tampoco pienso perderme la ceremonia de Londres 2012,pero todavía falta poco más de 1 año para eso.
Las ceremonias de apertura y clausura de Atenas 2004,no me las perdí por nada.
2:44 Did he said Bazookia? lol These commentators are really annoying, especially this one who's laughing when another one says something -_- they should just shut up and enjoyng this ceremony!!
This sort of wants to make me try to compose something for the Olympics...NOT THE ANNOUNCERS...the music.
Anyway...I think it distasteful that the announcers said 'It took them a hundred years...and they finally came up with something...' or whatever. OF COURSE IT TAKES TIME. Put another way...before the book is written, steps are taken
Most of us forget that the Olympic Games were established by Hercules himself with one and only purpose...to satisfy Zeus!...and not for Adidas and Nike to make more money, or a country to promote itself and increase its incomes from tourism. Think again when you watch such a show!

i agree with 'acatisfinetoowut' ... Athens ceremonies were simple but very elegant ,,, i loved them and Beijing were technically very very sound ceremonies ... but here i dont want to forget the Sydney 2000 ceremonies and especially the Opening ceremony of Sydney games which was for the first time tagged as "the biggest show on planet Earth". the concept, displays, colors and lighting of cauldron ,,, everything was very spectecular in those games ,,,
Islam is peace, says the Muslims who constantly insult other religions. Islam is peace said the Muslims who invaded Egypt and subjugated the Copts. Islam is peace they said to the Zorastrians who fled to India. Islam is peace said the Muslims who ransacked gr8 university of Buddhist- Nalanda. Islam is peace said the Muslims as they slaughtered Hindus and Buddhists. Islam is peace said the muslims as they slaughtered the Sikhs & Armenians & Greeks.Islam is peace says the Muslims now as they....
these two announcers were so fucking annoying... more interested in hearing the sound of their own voices than taking in the emotion of it all. the broadcast would have been better served by a little more silence from them in my opinion
@muhammad152 You're ordinary! This is Greece, nothing can be better than what made by them. No tecnology, no lights, no fireworks, no money can be better than this. Here is the spirit, where the Olympics were born. Chinese is just what China is: a forgery, imitation and total fake. They wanted to show the world they were great and powerful, that's all. Grerce showed the world what an olympic spirit is. They were awesome!
@MatheusStradivari Hahaha China is a forgery, imitation and total fake? Do I smell jealousy? This BORING ass Athens opening ceremony is so clumsy and dull compared to the Beijing opening ceremony. No disrespect to Athens but this utube poser needs to give credit where it is due and stop being so obnoxious and arrogant. RESPECT!!!
@MatheusStradivari Jealous or not, DO NOT act as if the whole world is ONLY talking about Greece. If I recall correctly, our governments and the media is more curious about what China is doing and where it is going than any other country on the planet. This itself speaks volume about the importance of China's global economic influences and also an acknowledgment of a emerging superpower. There's a saying the 20th century belongs to America & then the 21st century belongs to CHINA.
@patrickvang06 it doesnt have anything to do with jealousy honey...i was there that night and believe me nothing was boring about it,everybody there felt moved and touched and excited,the athletes too..i am not saying beijing sucked or anything but you compare 2 totally different things...and keep in mind that this ceremony was hosted by a country of 10 million ppl not 1 billion...so given the scale we pretty much nailed it!!! and really do your homework before you speak...
@hrisaki84 Perhaps you should do your homework before you speak. With all due respect to Greece, I was just simply refuting @MatheusStradivari about his earlier post about China being a fake. I DO NOT think there's anything fake about China as it transcends from a rural nation to a global economic power in just over 2 decades. Greece is unique in its own ways but China has taken their ceremony to another amazing level...one in which will be very difficult to beat. READ before you speak!
@warriordinos999 Συμφωνώ απόλυτα μαζί σου. Όσο γι' αυτούς που στα σχόλια του βίντεο αυτού λένε ότι η διοργάνωση των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων συνέβαλε στην τωρινή κατάσταση, ας μην ξεχνάνε ότι η οικονομία δεν ήταν καθόλου αυτή όταν ανέβηκε ο Καραμανλής στην εξουσία. Τί οικονομία παρέλαβε και τί παρέδωσε ο άνθρωπος αυτός;
"The heavy pounding of the music is supposed to express the struggle to moce forward, and the human confrontation with deep emotional and intellectual thoughts. ... ... ... And that is real water."
What a buffoon of an announcer! You have to be a real idiot to read a script about the lofty ideas this ceremony presents, and then immediately follow that up with a comment about the F%*$ing water.
put it in 5 53....this idiot said that we didn't do anything spacial for a century...well i say only one thing...if it wasn't us he would be just a monkey trying unhopefully to light a fire!!!!!!!idiots!!!!!!!!!who cannot create something ruins something else with his words to seem greater...what a pitty....!!!!!!!!!!!

The Beijing Ceremony was definitely without a doubt the most technically spectacular show in Olympic(or human!) history. But there's something as simple as Olympic rings of fire on water that is just as breathtaking as the bananza of lights and colours that Beijing had. I think Athens and Beijing both had the best ceremonies to date, but in different styles. Athens had the simple symbolism and evoked emotions while Beijing had the mass pageantry and effects.
And both Olympics were at an advantage because the Greeks and Chinese are the oldest civilizations on earth and the founding cultures of the West and East so they had a lot of stuff to show. Whereas Vancouver....that was just pathetic.
@acatisfinetoowut, excellently stated, and that's really the way we should look at opening ceremonies. It's not about who's "the best," but what's special about each one. Greece and China both have long histories to tell, and both told their stories in ways that captivated audiences and made them greatly appreciate what each ancient civilization has done for the world.
I do have to disagree on Vancouver though. I thought it did an excellent job of showcasing the Canadian spirit.
I think Athens had the best variety of segments that are unique and exciting. I notice alot of Opening Ceremonies start off on a dull entry. Athens definitly opens with a bang!
The top three best opening ceremonies ever are: Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and Seoul 1988. The more exotic the country, the more interesting the show I believe!
im greek and i think this opening ceremony was spectacular but beijing blew my mind away! i wonder how rio de janeiro's opening ceremony will be like?
I think greece had the more interesting storyline in their opening and it made u wanna watch it more, in that fact greece had the best opening ever...beijing had the most spectacular... and in that beijing had the best opening... but there is a differece between interseting/unique and spectacular so i can't say which one was the best ;)
There were 4 commentators for NBC ....2 were bob costas ( a greek american) and katie courick......THEY SUCKED ASS commentating on regular NBC standard definition ! But these two, in NBC HD, whom we are listening to now are much more well informed about what is going on. I've watched both versions...and this one, the HD one is better. (as far as understanding the meaning to everything that is going on)
Well that's a matter of opinion because for me (and for a lot of other people too), this one was better....It's not fair to say one is better than the other. I think Beijing and Greece focused on different things. Greece focused on the spirit of the Olympic games and the core of humanity (which for me, makes for a better opening ceremony)...whereas Beijing was simply a demonstration of their culture and history. Again though, its all opinion on which is better.
I have witnessed 5 Olympic open ceremonies in my life till now. All of them are the celebration of mankind. I like them all.
The flying arrow over the cauldron at Barcelona OC, the fire rings in the water pool at Athens OC, the lighted global in the bird nest at Beijing OC are my favorite unforgettable Olympic moments.

Most of us forget that the Olympic Games were established by Hercules himself with one and only purpose...to satisfy Zeus!...and not for Adidas and Nike to make more money, or a country to promote itself and increase its incomes from tourism. Think again when you watch such a show!

i agree with 'acatisfinetoowut' ... Athens ceremonies were simple but very elegant ,,, i loved them and Beijing were technically very very sound ceremonies ... but here i dont want to forget the Sydney 2000 ceremonies and especially the Opening ceremony of Sydney games which was for the first time tagged as "the biggest show on planet Earth". the concept, displays, colors and lighting of cauldron ,,, everything was very spectecular in those games ,,,

Grerce showed the world what an olympic spirit is. They were awesome!

@MatheusStradivari Jealous or not, DO NOT act as if the whole world is ONLY talking about Greece. If I recall correctly, our governments and the media is more curious about what China is doing and where it is going than any other country on the planet. This itself speaks volume about the importance of China's global economic influences and also an acknowledgment of a emerging superpower. There's a saying the 20th century belongs to America & then the 21st century belongs to CHINA.

@patrickvang06 it doesnt have anything to do with jealousy honey...i was there that night and believe me nothing was boring about it,everybody there felt moved and touched and excited,the athletes too..i am not saying beijing sucked or anything but you compare 2 totally different things...and keep in mind that this ceremony was hosted by a country of 10 million ppl not 1 billion...so given the scale we pretty much nailed it!!! and really do your homework before you speak...

@hrisaki84 Perhaps you should do your homework before you speak. With all due respect to Greece, I was just simply refuting @MatheusStradivari about his earlier post about China being a fake. I DO NOT think there's anything fake about China as it transcends from a rural nation to a global economic power in just over 2 decades. Greece is unique in its own ways but China has taken their ceremony to another amazing level...one in which will be very difficult to beat. READ before you speak!

The Beijing Ceremony was definitely without a doubt the most technically spectacular show in Olympic(or human!) history. But there's something as simple as Olympic rings of fire on water that is just as breathtaking as the bananza of lights and colours that Beijing had. I think Athens and Beijing both had the best ceremonies to date, but in different styles. Athens had the simple symbolism and evoked emotions while Beijing had the mass pageantry and effects.
acatisfinetoowut 1 year ago 40
And both Olympics were at an advantage because the Greeks and Chinese are the oldest civilizations on earth and the founding cultures of the West and East so they had a lot of stuff to show. Whereas Vancouver....that was just pathetic.

scorpioninpink 1 year ago
@acatisfinetoowut, excellently stated, and that's really the way we should look at opening ceremonies. It's not about who's "the best," but what's special about each one. Greece and China both have long histories to tell, and both told their stories in ways that captivated audiences and made them greatly appreciate what each ancient civilization has done for the world.
I do have to disagree on Vancouver though. I thought it did an excellent job of showcasing the Canadian spirit.
ZhangtheGreat 1 year ago 4
I think Athens had the best variety of segments that are unique and exciting. I notice alot of Opening Ceremonies start off on a dull entry. Athens definitly opens with a bang!
The top three best opening ceremonies ever are: Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and Seoul 1988. The more exotic the country, the more interesting the show I believe!

There were 4 commentators for NBC ....2 were bob costas ( a greek american) and katie courick......THEY SUCKED ASS commentating on regular NBC standard definition ! But these two, in NBC HD, whom we are listening to now are much more well informed about what is going on. I've watched both versions...and this one, the HD one is better.

Well that's a matter of opinion because for me (and for a lot of other people too), this one was better....It's not fair to say one is better than the other. I think Beijing and Greece focused on different things. Greece focused on the spirit of the Olympic games and the core of humanity (which for me, makes for a better opening ceremony)...whereas Beijing was simply a demonstration of their culture and history. Again though, its all opinion on which is better.
