| The Athletics competition started today and it was clearly the
most excited these local Aussies have been thus far! Cathy Freeman
ran a preliminary heat in the 400m and the local crowd wasn't
disappointed with her performance.
This was the busiest day so far here in Sydney. Almost
four-hundred thousand people were entertained at the different
Olympic venues. The trains and other public transit strained to the
point of almost breaking. After the Athletics, Frank and I watched
for over a half hour as the line for the subway didn't get any
shorter. After we had eaten and got bored of waiting, he figured a
shortcut and we made our way on the train. We were home before most
of the people even got out of Sydney Olympic Park. |
