Seems like the year 2000 has been the year of superlatives for Australia; The most comprehensive, spectacular and far-reaching New Year's Eve celebrations, ever; the most convoluted and idiotic tax system ever implemented; the best Olympic games ever held and the best Paralympic games ever staged.
Good thing I didn't volunteer then for the Paralympics. I would have been the saddest and most depressed guy around. More so.
On watching the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympics I tried to recall some of the highlights of the Olympic Closing Ceremony. None were found, I know I watched something that night. Could have been the nose bleed that put me off. Wicked Beat Sound System? What a misnomer that was. A very mellow and highly crappy performance.
When Juan-Antonio Samaranch declared the Olympic Games officially closed the crowding stands let out a deep wail of sorrow. But when Doctor Robert Steadward closed the Paralympics the crowd cheered a little. Not something I was expecting since Australia totally dominated that medal tally in the last days of competition.
