早在巴塞罗那第25届奥运会之前,争夺2000年第27后奥运会主办权的竞争就已经紧锣密鼓地展开了。在申办的八个城市中,悉尼、北京和柏林被公认为热门城市。其中悉尼继澳大利亚的布里斯班(争办1992年第25届)、墨尔本(争办1996年第26届)两次申办失败之后,卷土重来,尤其引人注目。那么,悉尼能不能成为申办这场“巨人之争”的优胜者呢?回答是不大可能。起步较早的悉尼(于1990年提出申办)有许多优势。它吸取了前两个城市的经验教训,以一种全新的、更加自信的面孔出现在申办舞台上。它拥有一个工作效率较高的申办委员会,主席麦克戈奇上任三个月就拜会了50多位国际奥委会委员。自提出申办以来,这个组织已经作了包括组织数十万人夹道欢迎奥运金牌得主凯旋、万人横穿悉尼大桥长跑及邀请非洲国际奥委会成员来澳旅游等一系列
As early as the 25th Olympic Games in Barcelona, the competition for the right to host the 27th Olympic Games in 2000 has already started in full swing. Among the eight cities bid for bidding, Sydney, Beijing and Berlin are widely recognized as hot cities. Among them, Sydney made a comeback in the wake of two unsuccessful bidding events in Brisbane, Australia (25th competition in 1992) and Melbourne (26th competition in 1996). So, can Sydney become the bidder to win the “Giants” winners? The answer is unlikely. Sydney, which started earlier, had a number of advantages (it was proposed in 1990). It draws on the lessons of the first two cities and appears on the bidding stage with a brand new, more confident face. It has a more efficient bid committee, and Chairman McCoggie met more than 50 IOC members in just three months. Since the bidding for the bid, the group has made a series of trips including organizing hundreds of thousands of people to welcome Olympic gold medalists, crossing the Sydney Bridge and inviting members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to visit Australia.
