2000 Olympics announcement broadcast 1993 pt 2/3

[michaelaussie1]

the winner is Siddey

[thecity1231]

This is what I call of right choice :P

[LaAngie87]

YAY WE WIN!!!!......as usual ha ha xD

[fieldsfan336]

One of the best Olympics I've ever seen!

[international153]

The International Olympic Committee wishes to thank the 5 bidding cities: Beijing, Berlin, Istanbul, Manchester, and Sydney. For their efforts in presenting the bids and also promoting the Olympics. We really regret that there is only our one winner. And the winner is...

The.. the winner is SYDNEY!

[AlexHWalker]

Okay this really shows the growth if the human brain since 1993, don't worry Sydney were worthy of those games, but what idiot would think that Manchester could host the olympics?

[SAMMYJS991]

@AlexHWalker hey, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, didn't Costa Rica or Puerto Rico try to make a bid not to long ago??

so your saying that ANY CITY can't throw their hat into the ring??

[AlexHWalker]

@SAMMYJS991 No what I'm saying is that when there is a better city in a country then you should use it, the UK has 2, London and Edinburgh so why did they use Manchester?

[hochsr]

we shouldve copied and pasted our bid from the sydney olympics for the 2022 world cup. but then again we wouldnt of won coz fifa are corrupt as fuck. qatar? you're fucking kidding me. crowds are amazing in doha arent they? fucking joke. even though half the participating countries are just over the border they still cant fill half a fucking stadium. what an embarrassment. its the biggest tournament any of the nations will ever play in and still cant get over there and watch.

[MrDaveLogan]

Samaranch started by thanking the bidding cities in alphabetical order, starting with Beijing. Many Chinese watching in China, who didn't speak English just heard "blah, blah, blah Beijing" and started jumping up and down, wildly cheering and shouting thinking they had won.

[FatPizza56]

good, lets hope we get the 2022 World Cup :)

[anchorman87]

what are Ray and Bruce doing on the same channel?

[lordofwrath88]

I don't even think Rio seemed this over joyed.

[WYTwrestling]

This is when the world was great.

[WDI2008]

Hard to imgine though that 8 years latter Beijing would win the right to host the 2008 Olympics which turned to be a better deal.

[rawyld]

I remember that year. The openning Ceremony was on my birthday, 15 September 2000.

[butzee]

I think those that voted for manchester voted for oz after uk got voted knocked out and if im not misaken that favour was remembered for london 2012!!!

[HodkinStudios]

As I recall, the vote for the 2000 Games was very close. Sydney 45-43 Beijing.

[hachibeach151]

Won by a safety.

[vdrinker08]

we.fukn.rule

[blissmeout]

Viva J.A Samaranch!!

[dogcafe]

Channel Ten's coverage of the immediate announcement was better with Anne Fulwood and Tim Webster.

[anthonyok]

Congrats Rio!

[jereg2]

Congratualations to Rio. I hope your games will be as wonderful as ours were in Sydney

[stevothebevo]

I love Brucey, 'It's simply maaaarvelous'

[eurovisionuk2008]

how did Manchester not get the olympics in 2000

[marty1fc]

because sydney is better.

[FatPizza56]

@eurovisionuk2008 Manchester is shite, Sydney has so far hosted the best Olympics

[Croftgamer]

Rio, Go, go!!!

[1prouddemocrat]

No! Go Chicago!

[ShyGuy19898]

Wishing CHICAGO all the best wishes in the whole world (from England) xD

[Radiancy]

I love SYDNEY

[allanrosendo]

Sydney and the Australians made the best games ever!

Now, we from Rio, hope to get the chance to do our best!

Go Rio2016!!

[Juanser02]

sorry but no, TOKYO 2016 Would WIN

[allanrosendo]

let´s see!

[lukekevindocherty]

remember those  "suck shit beijing" that everyone was wearing for a few months after this

[strike1977]

Gafan888, Listen. I don't agree with your views! I think it is time that the IOC takes the boldest step in its history to give the games to Rio! All you Americans will make another Atlanta Games and let me remind you had the Summer Games in 1904, 1932 and 1984.

Good Luck Rio for 2016!!!!

[gafan888]

America, like Australia, has a magnificent Olympic history, so for these extremely opinioned people of Rio, Brazil, I humbly and respectfully disagree with you. We may have had our problems with Atlanta 1996, but in my calm objective opinion the people of Chicago and the United States rightfully deserve this extraordinary honor . I deeply apologise for any hurtful comments.

[erana19]

Now someone just needs to tell me where the myth that Samaranch pronounced the winner as 'Syd-en-ney' came from!

[chrismj1982]

yeah! agree! he clearly said Sydney, NOT syd-en-ey i think some comedian tried to imitate this accent and it caught on through aussie media.

pity, reflects aussie narrow mindedness

[alfaceandrice]

OMG. Look at the clothes. Oh gosh!

[lillovesac]

damn..i wasnt alive for that..atleast its on youtube:D

[eirinnkirstie]

I mean it was the Nine Network and Channel Seven not Channel 10 Broadcasting

[eirinnkirstie]

It was 9 and 7

[berniepowers]

HAHAHAH i remeber waking up being told sydney got the olympics and being disspointe cause it meant sydney would build a stium biger then QE2. I was a weird kid i admit but we got dwn to Sydney for the 2nd week of the games. The best week of my life so far

[buc555]

Beijing thought they'd won it when he was thanking the 5 cites.

[tatotal]

Sydney put on a fantastic Olympics.

[conlanding]

Sydney should have won this bid over Beijing a lot easier than the 2 votes it took. I'm glad Beijing has at least been given a chance to host an Olympic Games and what an opening ceremony they put on Friday 08-08-08.

And also I'm glad Athens got to host an Olympics as well in 2004. I hope a city like Toronto, Berlin, Paris or Rio De Janeiro would get that chance.

[StylistecS]

Rio should get 2016 over Chicago.

[NFLfanatic08]

i agree..I think its about time that the Olympics come down to South America

[gav240z]

Yeah why not be good to have it in South America for a change :).

[Jarren987654321]

Its Probably because we want our Olympians to stay alive. Sydney 200 was the best ever Olympics nothing could ever beat that

[speccwolf]

im looking forward to londons olympics.

[OzFrog]

I was 13 years old and I was at Homebush with my dad when this got announced... I still remember jumping for joy like a madman! Watching that 15 years later still gives me a buzz!

[caffeinekiddo]

Bruce sounds like he was tearing up a bit!!

[doriemus97]

What a moment this was, a moment of brightness in the darkness that was the recession we had to have.

[edwardcullenissexy]

this was in 1993 yeah? lol i had just been born. odd.

[papagavros]

me too

[chelsea1802]

Yep, same here!

[anchorman87]

What was Bruce doing talking with Ray? Did he do a stint at 9 in the 90s?

[burster14]

The president of the IOC (the one who announced the winner) really wanted Beijing. He must have been PISSED.

[wdwfan4life]

He wanted them for 2008 and publicy said so, which is why Toronto did not win and should have won.

[lexlib]

he wanted the games for Beijing as early as 2000.

[conlanding]

Sammaranch really wanted Beijing to win this bid and cement his legacy as IOC President. People in Atlanta did not want Beijing to succeed them as hosts, they felt Sydney was the more appropriate host, but Beijing paid it dues.

[burster14]

Since when did Atlanta's Bill Payne or whatever have that much influence? Sydney won, like most cities, on it's lobbying. Mind you 2000 was chosen before the actual so-so Atlanta Games, so maybe the IOC didn't frown too much on AOCOG at the time, but still.

[saintandrews83]

aussie aussie aussie !!!

[natejd87]

Unfortunately for India, they didn't win did they? As they say, the winner takes all.

And we showed them with "the best Olympics possible"... Go Australia!!!

And ze vinner is... Synee... Lol go Juan

[surinameasianindian]

Fuck off iinsulting 1 billin ppl of india and another 1 billion from subcontient and origin ppl. At least announce the venue at India.

[PigeonPair]

I remember running into my Dad's room and waking him up at about 4am, I was so excited! Australia should bid again!

[Gwenavere14]

I remember watching this when i was six. It was fantastic!

[marty1fc]

lol i was 5 and i remember it! i was so happy

[francis1971]

I will never forget this moment. Being a Sydneysider myself, I was very happy with this decision.

[flyhalf2006]

I love how people have kept stuff like this. What a great memory, I was down in Cirular Quay somewhere running around. Thanks for sharing this!

[Brindabella24]

Me too. I love nostalgic stuff like this! If I could ever go back in time, I'd want to go back to that night, being in the crowds of people gathered on the Sydney streets and in Curcular Quay and the like. I can scarcely imagine how awesome it'd be.

Thankyou so much for uploading this. You've made my day!

[ya1572]

The, the winner is Sidney!!!!!

[dolphinsweet]

And da winner is Sydney.

[andrewsyd]

Got any more of this footage? It's amazing!

[brentnewtown]

Yeah, but this is the highlight of the broadcast. I will look at uploading some more over the weekend.

[jereg2]

What a wonderful memory!!! I was there at Homebush on that night in September watching the announcement on a big screen. I will never forget the joy.
