A lady closed down her shop and walked me around the corner because she was afraid I'd miss the street. A party atmosphere prevailed. But they will not be able to duplicate this atmosphere. To begin, Sydney is beautiful. It was a unique atmosphere.
People love sport.
They cheered all the athletes. They stayed for the medal ceremonies even if no Australian athletes were involved. The atmosphere of the city itself was incredible. Compared with Atlanta, there were no transportation problems, no technology problems, no overcommercilisation. And the home team did splendid.
