Kazza the Blank One

The ticketing for the Sydney 2000 Olympics was by ballot - months in advance you put in orders for what you'd like to see and with any luck you might get to see something you wanted to see.  I put in for gymnastics and on the 17th September 2000 the mother type person and I faced the HOARDES of people, in organised chaos, to go to Sydney Olympic Park and see some gymnastics at the Super Dome.  It was actually super-well organised and everything flowed nicely.

Of course we had to have a bit of a wander around to see everything first.  (aside: I still have that green tshirt - one of my "winter" tshirts)

First some photos from Mum's camera..

Then a bunch from mine..

Then onto the gymnastics!  I just had my little point-and-shoot Olympus camera with 3x optical zoom and no manual features, so the photos weren't great.  And if someone "stuck it" the crowd roared, which I'm sure would have been super off-putting for the other competitors....
