London, pay attention. This is how it's done.

I just watched the Athens lighting ceremony. I'm afraid the Spaniards have ruined this for every other country in the future. NOBODY would take this kind of risk.
Go Spain, no wonder you had so many good poets...

Maybe, but it could also be true that the arrow wouldn't even have to hit the olympic torch. Nobody saw the arrow go on, it's very possible that he could have even missed, but an automated system lit the torch.

@SoyunSerSuperior I was 6 and I saw the ceremony at friends of my parents' home. I remember that I thought "and this is must be being watched in every country?? Everybody watched this?" and I it was first time I felt proud of being Spanish. Second time was when we won Football World Cup, but it doesn't give me chills when I remember it as when I see videos of Barcelona '92 :)

I remember this I was 13. I was in awe, and I fancied Epi - he did the job really well and Antonio Rebello inspired me too. I wanted to be a torchbearer ever since. I loved the lighting ceremony, the whole thing was so poetic!!! xx

This is the most memorable. If you were watching it then when the arrow was lighted, everyone knew what was going to happen but when he shot the arrow all the air was sucked out by everyone watching, then BOOM! still the most spectacular and magnificent lighting ceremony yet conceived. Sheer audacity and brilliance and suspense!

I remember this well. The anticipation was building when the torch was being carried to the platform. People were wondering how the cauldron so far away was going to be lighted. And then when it was being passed to the archer, people were stupefied with disbelief that anyone would even attempt it. And when the arrow was released, it sucked all the oxygen from everyone watching. Then BULLSEYE! The most spectacular lighting EVER! The suspense and dramatic effect will never be duplicated again!
