i dont understand what all the fuss was about with samaranch's mispronunciation of the word 'sydney'. He seemed to pronounce it perfectly at 1:17 and yet it became firmly entrenched in Australian folklore that he uttered 'syd-o-nee'....if anything it sounds more like 'syd-ee'..
@ssotimp No, what the joke was was that people were expecting him to pronounce it as Sydeney because he'd pronounced Atlanta as Atalanta. But instead of adding an extra vowel he wound up pronouncing it Synney :)
this is y we should be hosting the world cup, i remember being at the sooceroos opening the stadium, who says we dont love football! and nye is sydney is the best iin the world, New york, rio etc good but just not the same spirit in the people :)

@ssotimp I could never understand that either. And if he didn't pronounce it properly in 1993 he certainly did in 2000.
