Of course, with the Olympics about to start, the purpose of these rumors is obviously not to attack Sydney, but rather to promote China's bid for the 2008 Olympics.
It can be said that with the appearance of these rumors, along with Gan Guoyang's showcase of influence in Sydney, the hosting rights for the 2008 Olympics going to China is almost a certainty.
No country can compete with China for the hosting rights.
The 5 days passed quickly, and by September 15th, the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics was grandly held at the main stadium.
Australian singer Tina Elena performed the song "The Flame" at the opening ceremony, which became yet another classic Olympic theme song.
At the highly anticipated Olympic flame lighting ceremony, Australian sprint star Freeman ignited the flame in the water, followed by the flame rising slowly from the water, officially announcing the start of the Olympics.
