毫无疑问，所有的点火仪式中巴塞罗那的点火仪式最令人难忘。与其说是它的创意，还不如说他的刺激，征服了我们。从70米的远处射火箭把圣火射入火盆，想起来就觉得刺激啊：要是没射中会怎样呢？

最近才知道答案就是火箭根本就没有射中，不过本来也没打算射中。火箭手被告知火箭掠过火盆即可，然后摄像机帮忙掩饰。这个欺骗了我十多年啊。

Barcelona restored dignity four years later with an archer dramatically lighting the Olympic flame with a burning arrow flying through the night sky.

Billions of people around the globe gasped in admiration as the archer bravely found his target with unerring accuracy.

Or so it seemed.

In reality, he had not actually landed the arrow in the middle of the cauldron - he had fired it way outside the stadium as instructed.

Organisers dared not risk his aim failling short and landing into the grandstand and instead told him to fire it directly over the target area... some pyrotechnics-helpful camera angles would take care of the visual effect.
