2000 Summer Olympics , officially known as the XXVII Olympic Games and commonly known as Sydney 2000 or Millennium Olympic Games / New Millennium Game , is an international multi-sport event held between 15 September and 1 October 2000 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. This is the second time the Summer Olympics have been held in Australia, as well as the Southern Hemisphere, the first in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1956.
Sydney was chosen as the host city for the 2000 Olympics in 1993. Teams from 199 countries participated. The United States won the most medals with 93, while Australia finished fourth with 58. Olympic cost is estimated at A $ 6.6 billion. The Olympics receive universal recognition, with Australian organizations, volunteers, sportsmanship and the public being praised in the international media. Bill Bryson of The Times called the Sydney Games "one of the most successful events on the world stage", saying they "can not get better".
James Mossop of the Electronic Telegraph called the Game "so successful that every city considers bidding for the upcoming Olympics must be wondering how it can achieve the standards set by Sydney", while Jack Todd at Montreal Gazette suggests that "the IOC should pause in the future, and there will never be a better Olympics, and finish with it," because "Sydney is great and best".
In preparing for the 2012 Olympics in London, Lord Coe announced the Sydney Games as "a benchmark for the Olympic spirit, no doubt" and admitted that the London organizing committee "sought in a number of ways to replicate what the Sydney Organizing Committee did." This is an Olympic Games most recently under the leadership of IOC Juan Antonio Samaranch. This is also the second Olympic Games held in spring and for now the latest match will not be held in the more traditional July or August summer slots.
The last medal count was led by the United States, followed by Russia and China with Australia hosts in fourth place overall. Several World and Olympic records were damaged during the match. With little or no controversy, the games are considered generally successful with increasing standards of competition among countries around the world.

Host city selection
Sydney won the right to host the Olympics on September 24, 1993, after being elected in Beijing, Berlin, Istanbul and Manchester in four rounds of voting, at the 101st Session of the IOC in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Melbourne City in Australia lost to Atlanta for the 1996 Summer Olympics four years earlier. Beijing lost an offer to host a match to Sydney in 1993, but was later awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics in July 2001, and will eventually be awarded the Winter Olympics 2022 twenty-two years later in 2015.

Cost
The Oxford Olympics Study 2016 estimates the Sydney 2000 Olympic Summer outturn cost of USD 5 billion in 2015-dollars and costs overtaken at 90% in real terms. This includes sports-related costs only, that is, (i) operational costs incurred by the organizing committee for the purpose of performing the Olympics, for example, expenditures on technology, transportation, labor, administration, security, catering, ceremonies, and (ii) the direct capital costs incurred by host cities and countries or private investors to build, for example, competition venues, Olympic villages, international broadcast centers, and media and press centers, which is necessary to hold the Olympics. Indirect costs of capital are excluded, such as for road, rail, or airport infrastructure, or for upgrading hotels or other business investments incurred in preparation for the Olympics but not directly related to the Olympic staging. The cost for Sydney 2000 compares with the cost of USD 4.6 billion for Rio 2016, USD 40-44 billion for Beijing 2008 and USD 51 billion for Sochi 2014, the most expensive Olympic Games in history. The average cost for Summer Games since 1960 is USD 5.2 billion, the average overrun cost is 176%.
In 2000, the New South Wales Auditor reported that the Sydney Games cost A $ 6.6 billion, with a net cost to the public between A $ 1.7 and A $ 2.4 billion. Many places were built at Sydney Olympic Park, which failed in the years immediately after the Olympics to meet the expected reservations to meet maintenance costs. In the years leading up to the game, funds shifted from education and health programs to cover the Olympic expenses.
It is estimated that the economic impact of the 2000 Olympics is that A $ 2.1 billion has been shaved from public consumption. Economic growth is not stimulated for net benefits and in the years after 2000, foreign tourism to NSW grew less than tourism to Australia as a whole. The "multiplier effect" on broader economic development is not realized, because a simple "multiplier" analysis fails to capture is that resources must be directed from elsewhere: the construction of stadiums is at the expense of other public works such as expansion into hospitals. Building sports venues did not add to the aggregate stock of productive capital in the years after the Olympics: "Equestrian centers, softball compounds and manmade rapids are not very useful beyond their direct function." In the years after the game, infrastructure issues have been a concern of citizens, especially in Sydney's western outskirts. The proposed railroad to Sydney's west has been estimated in the same order of magnitude as a public expenditure on the game.
Chronological Summary of the Summer Olympics 2000
Initial match - starting September 13
Although the Olympic Opening Ceremonies are not scheduled until September 15, the football competition starts with an early game on 13 September. Among the pre-ceremonial equipment, the host country lost 1-0 to Italy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which was the main stadium for the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
Day 1-15 September
Cultural view highlights
The opening ceremony begins with a tribute to Australia's pastoral heritage of Australian stockmen and the importance of stock horses in Australian heritage. It was produced and filmed by the Sydney Olympic Broadcasting Organization and the home country's broadcaster, Channel 7. It was introduced by a single rider, Steve Jefferys, and Australian Stock horse who raised him Ammunition . At the break of Jefferys' pride, more than 120 motorists entered the stadium, their stock horses made complicated steps, including forming five Olympic Rings, to a special Olympic version of the theme that Bruce Rowland had composed for the 1982 film.> The Man from Snowy River .
The Australian National anthem is sung, the first verse by Human Nature and the second by Julie Anthony.
The ceremony continued, showing many aspects of the land and its people: - the similarity of Australians living on the coast with the sea that surrounds the "Continent Island". The indigenous occupation of land, the arrival of the First Fleet, continued immigration from many rural countries and industries where the state economy was built, including a display that represents the rigors of rural life based on Sir Sidney Nolan's paintings. Two unforgettable scenes are representations of the "Hearts" of the country by 200 Aboriginal women from Central Australia who danced "The mighty spirit of God to protect the Olympics" and very noisy construction representations. industry by hundreds of teen-tap dancing.
Since Aunt Salisachs (wife of Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the IOC) was very ill and could not accompany her husband to the Olympics, former Australian Olympic swimmer and New South Wales Parliament member Dawn Fraser accompanied Samaranch during the Australian cultural display, explaining to him several cultural references not known by non-Australians.
Formal presentation
A record 199 countries entered the stadium, with 80 records of them winning at least one medal. The only missing IOC member is Afghanistan (banned because of the extreme rule of Taliban oppression against women and the ban on sport). The ceremony features an integrated entrance by North Korean and South Korean athletes, using a specially designed binding flag: a white background with a blue map of the Korean Peninsula. However, both teams competed separately. Four athletes from East Timor also march in parades of countries as Individual Olympic Athletes and march directly in front of the host country. Although the state candidates do not have the National Olympic Committee then, they are allowed to compete under the Olympic Flag with IOA country code. The Governor-General, Sir William Deane, opened the game.
The Olympic flag was performed around the arena by eight former Olympic champions Australia: Bill Roycroft, Murray Rose, Liane Tooth, Gillian Rolton, Marjorie Jackson, Lorraine Crapp, Michael Wenden and Nick Green. During the Olympic Flag rally, the Olympic Song was sung by the Millennium Chorus of the Greek Orthodox Diocese from Australia in Greek. After this, Tina Arena sings a pop song written with purpose, The Flame .
The opening ceremony concludes with the Olympic Flame lighting. Former Australian Olympic champion Herb Elliott brings the Olympic Flame to the stadium. Then, celebrating 100 years of women's participation in the Olympics, former Australian women's Olympic medalists: Betty Cuthbert and Raelene Boyle, Dawn Fraser, Shirley Strickland (later Shirley Strickland de la Hunty), Shane Gould and Debbie Flintoff-King carrying torches through the stadium, to Cathy Freeman, who lit a fire in a cauldron in a circle of fire. The spectacular climax planned for the ceremony is delayed by a technical error from a malfunctioning computer switch, causing the sequence to close by giving a false reading. This meant that the Olympic flame was suspended in the air for about four minutes, rather than immediately climbing onto the water-covered path to the top of the stadium. When the cause of the problem is found, the program is overwritten and the cauldron keeps running, and the ceremony ends with a spectacular fireworks display.

- The Olympic Coordination Authority (OCA), primarily responsible for construction and supervision
- The Olympic & amp; Transport Authority (ORTA)

- 197 Other Olympic National Committees (NOCs)
- 33 International Sports Federation (Federation) (International))
- the three levels of Australian government (federal, state and local)
- dozens of official sponsors and hundreds of authorized suppliers
These agencies are often collectively referred to as the "Olympic Family".
Paralympic Organization
The 2000 Summer Paralympic Organization is the responsibility of the SPOC Sydney Paralympic Organizing Committee. Yet much of the planning and operation of Paralympic Games is being outsourced to SOCOG so most of the operational programs are planning the Olympics and the Paralympics.
Other Olympic events
The Games Organization includes not only the actual sporting events but also the management (and sometimes construction) of the sports venues and the surrounding area, the Sydney Olympic Art Festival and the Olympic torch relay. Relays begin in Greece and travel to Australia through various Oceania island countries.
Phase of the Olympic project
The Olympic staging is treated as a large-scale project, with the project divided into several broad phases:
- 1993 to 1996 - positioned
- 1997 - will operate
- 1998Ã, - procurement/venuisation
- 1999 - testing/refinement
- 2000Ã, - implementations
- 2001Ã, - post implementation and wind-down
SOCOG organization design
The internal organization of SOCOG evolved during the project phase and changed, sometimes radically, several times.
By the end of 1998 the design was essentially functional . The top two levels under Sandy Hollway's CEO consist of five groups (managed by Group General Managers and Deputy CEOs) and twenty
In 1999, the functional area (FA) broke into geographical teams and venues (managed by Honorary Managers and Venue Managers) with functional area staff reporting to FA managers and spot managers. That is, SOCOG moves to the matrix structure. The Interstate Football Division that still existed in 1998 was the first of the team's geographical location.
Volunteer program
The origins of the volunteer program for Sydney 2000 started from an offer, as early as 1992.
On December 17, 1992, a group of Sydney residents, interested in the prospect of hosting the Olympics and the 2000 Paralympics, gathered for a meeting at the Sports House, at Wentworth Park in Sydney.
In the period leading up to 1999, after Sydney won the tender, a small group of volunteers grew from about 42 to about 500. These volunteers were known as Pioneer Volunteers. The Pilot Volunteer Program is managed internally by the SOCOG Volunteer Service Department in consultation with top peer groups such as The Center for Volunteering (Volunteering and TAFE.Some Pioneer Volunteers still meet every four months, the invisible legacy of the game that unites the community of Spirit not seen before.
During the Olympics tens of thousands of volunteers, the official figure was placed at 46,967, helping everywhere in Olympic venues and elsewhere in the city. They are honored with parades like the athletes did a few days before.
Marketing
Official logo
The offer logo, designed by architect and designer Michael Bryce, features a colorful, stylish image from the Sydney Opera House.
The official logo - also referred to as the "Millennium Man" - takes a picture of the offer logo and combines it with a runner-style image to form a moving torch torch; formed by two small yellow boomerang for arm and big red boomerang for leg. The Olympic Torch is represented by a blue smoke trail, which illustrates the iconic iconic Sydney Opera House.
The official logo design process, as well as all other aspects of the Olympic visual design identity ', was awarded to the Melbourne FHA Image Design design studio. The project of the Sydney Olympic brand identity officially began in 1993.
Mascots
The official mascots selected for the 2000 Summer Olympics are Syd platypus, Millie the echidna and Olly the kookaburra and designed by Matthew Hattan and Jozef Szekeres and named by Philip Sheldon of the Weekes Morris Osborn agency in response to the original SOCOG recommendation Murray, Margery and Dawn after a famous Australian athlete.
There is also an unofficial mascot, Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat, popularized by comedy team Roy Slaven and HG Nelson on The Dream with Roy and HG TV series. Roy and HG also often underestimate the official mascot on their television program.
Sponsor
Medals and wreaths
The bronze medal for the 2000 Olympics was created from melting Australian coins 1 cent and 2 cents - which had been removed from circulation from 1992 onwards.
Bouquets awarded to the medal recipient include foliage from Grevillea baileyana, also known as white oak trees.
Credits and accolades
The International Olympic Committee rewards Sydney and its residents with "Pierre de Coubertin Trophy" in recognition of the collaboration and happiness shown by the people of Sydney during the event to all athletes and visitors around the world.
