The stink over the Milli-Vanilli moment, the blue screen of death moment and the fake-fireworks have made the Beijing opening ceremony a little controversial.
So with the help of the You Choob, I thought we would take a wander down memory lane to less controversial times at previous opening ceremonies and take a look at the lighting of the cauldrons
1968 Mexico
1972 Munich - no sign of the opening on the choob
1976 Montreal
1984 Los Angeles (complete with John Williams doing the music)
1988 Seoul (one of my favourites - and the first Olympics I remember)
1992 Barcelona (the best cauldron lighting ever)
1996 Atlanta (the shittest one with a cauldron that looked like a carton of McDonalds fries)
2000 Sydney
2004 Athens
