LOVE Midori ITO!!!!!

I remember this well. I was 19. I fancied the pants off Chris Moon. I wrote a letter to him and got a reply back! I was starstruck at the time to get a letter from someone who carried the Olympic Torch. I heard he's doing a major trek across the desert, I think he did it last year. I heard rumours back in 1998, that Princess Diana was going to carry the Olympic Torch for her charity with landmines - but she passed away the year before so I think that why Chris Moon did it for her. xx

The best Winter Olympics,together with 2006 in Turin.

It's so interesting how even if it's only been 12 years there's a sort of "old-fashioned/retro" feel to this already. I sincerely hope Japan hosts the Olympics again, sometime while I'm alive.
Although... "Chris Moon represents the sadness of the past century." I don't think that's very nice. Maybe it wasn't worded properly.

Bless her hear.You can see Midori Ito trying hard not to cry there.

I was relieved to know the video and the audio were normally transmitted from Japan to the United States.

yes it was in fact:)
I found that quite downbeat, shouldnt the music be inspirational rather than tragic for the lighting of the cauldron and those kids were just corny I would have booed them.

Sounds like your pretty rude...dude. Will you be booing your own olympics?

Oh lighten up it was a joke, well the booing bit was a joke, I was right about the music though they should have got John Williams to do them a nice inspirational anthem.

I guess we would have to remove the conducting baton and replace it with a chopstick.
