Athens 2004 - Opening ceremony intro

[Alexander29854]

ΣΕ ΑΥΤΗ ΤΗ ΓΗ ΓΕΝΝΗΘΗΚΕ Ο ΗΡΩΙΣΜΟΣ Η ΘΥΣΙΑ Η ΦΙΛΟΠΑΤΡΙΑ Ο ΕΡΩΣ ΕΔΩ ΣΕ ΑΥΤΑ ΤΑ ΧΩΜΑΤΑ Ο ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΣ ΕΓΙΝΕ ΕΝΝΟΙΑ !!!

[kostisKarditsa]

Τα βλέπω και ανατριχιάΖΩ!! Έχουμε την ομορφότερη χώρα του κόσμου, χωρίς υπερβολές, και την ξεφτιλίσαμε παγκοσμίως! Κύριοι της Ευρώπης και της Αμερικής, μπορεί να μας πήρατε τα λεφτά μας, μπορεί να μας παρουσιάσατε αναίσθητους, μπορεί να μας στερήσατε πολλά, αλλά δεν μπορείτε να μας στερήσετε τα μέρη που δείχνει το παραπάνω βίντεο (και όχι μόνο)!!! Είμαι περήφανος που είμαι Έλληνας, είμαι περήφανος που μιλάω την πιο ζωντανή γλώσσα του κόσμου και αυτήν την περηφάνια δεν θα μου την στερήσετε ποτέ!

[muradeen]

Έλεος ρε Κωστάλα, έλεος! Μάθε πότε πρέπει να σωπαίνεις και πότε να μιλάς! Και κυρίως πότε να κλείνεις το γαμημένο το μικρόφωνό σου. Δεν μιλάνε όταν παίζει τέτοια πανέμορφη μουσική και παρελαύνει το φως και το γαλάζιο της ελληνικής θάλασσας.

Being an Australian with a Greek background and living in Sydney, I will never in my life time see again Sydney hand the Olympic Games over to Athens. What an honour it was to see the Olympic Flag being handed over from Sydney to the country that gave birth to the Olympic Games!!

I love Australia & Greece!! My two home countries!
