Start of the women's Mountain bike
race |
|
Swiss rider Barbara Blatter
(currently world no 1) in the finishers area after winning a silver medal |
|
Medal ceremony at the
Mountainbike race (the whole course was packed with Swiss). The good thing
about the Swiss not winning was, that the awfully uninspired Swiss
national anthem wasn't played. |
|
Men's 1,500 heats at the Olympic
Stadium |
|
Competition in full swing at the
Olympic Stadium |
|
Crowds in front of the stadium
(sorry for the bad weather, but Sydney has only 320 sunny days and not
365) |
|
Two minutes to go until the start
of the men's Olympic Marathon |
|
Helicopter ballet over the course
along the men's marathon. In total there were nine (9!) helicopters
following the runners. |
|
Crowds at the Domain, one of the
many sites of closing ceremonies all over the city. By the way, the
skyscraper to the very left (top is cut off) is where I work. |
