Barcelona 1992 Olympic Flame

thats def fake

fake!

fake!

Man! He's pro!

typical youtube retards pointing out the obvious

If you could look at 00:18 you will see a arrow falling down. It can be seen through the holes of the base of the cauldron. Now I see it.

I think the "arrow" you have seen, was a fly or something like that

Even though this looks great and is a great vid -

In Barcelona in 1992, Antonio Rebollo, an archer shot a flaming arrow over the cauldron ostensibly to light it. Rebollo had in fact been ordered to miss by organisers lest the arrow fall in the stadium.

There has been a lot of debate about whether the archer actually lit the cauldron. I do business in Europe and met up with someone that attended the Barcelona opening ceremony. He said the arrow landed right in the cauldron, then bounced out. But it did hit the mark dead on and lit the flame. It is for real. I'm guessing the backup plan was to manually light the cauldron if he missed, but as you saw he didn't.

I can lite my farts!
