Bidding cities: More than 30 cities, including Beijing, the capital of China, expressed interest in hosting the Millennium Olympics, and the final five cities were Sydney, Beijing, Berlin, Germany, Istanbul, Turkey, and Manchester, England. On the voting day of September 23, 1993, when the host city was selected, Beijing failed to win the right to host the Games until the last round of voting, narrowly losing to Sydney by two votes.
On January 22, 1999, a major scandal erupted when Australian Olympic Committee President John Cowes admitted that he had given a total of $70,000 in cash to two African IOC members on the eve of the vote to select the host city for the 2000 Games.

According to the Associated Press, Kauz, then head of the Australian bid, gave Mukra of Kenya and Nyanweiso of Uganda $35,000 each during a dinner at a Monte Carlo restaurant on the night of Sept. 22, 1993.
The next day, Sydney won the 2000 Games by the narrowest margin, with 45 votes, two more than Beijing.
In an interview with a Sydney newspaper, Cauz confessed his secret: "I thought we should express to these commissioners our desire to win. I personally think it will encourage them to vote for Sydney." But Cauz denied it was bribery, saying he wanted to help sports in Kenya and Uganda.
Cauz said the details of the case were sealed in the secret files of the committee, which had been made known to the Australian media.
A month before the election, Cauz wrote to the two commissioners, offering to pay for luxury hotels while they stayed in London.
Ioc Executive Peter Gosper of Australia said Cauz had "crossed the line of friendship". "Cauz tried to influence the selection of IOC members, and the final percentage of votes may have had something to do with Cauz's actions because it happened the night before the vote," he said. I think this is a serious matter that will do a lot of damage to Sydney's reputation and a lot of people will be investigated as a result."

Note: Due to the cancellation of MEDALS and other cases, the medal table will be subject to the closing of the Olympic Games.
Green and environmental protection is the most profound impression Australia has left on everyone, and it seems that people can find this on the emblem of the two Olympic Games held in this country in 1956 and 2000. The emblem of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games - "New Century Athlete" is an image of an athlete heading to the new century. From top to bottom, it is not difficult to see that the shape of the Sydney Opera House is used to represent the torch, while the sun, rock, and aboriginal circle symbols are used to shape the head, hands and abdomen of the athletes. The color language throughout the emblem is highly symbolic: the blue harbour, the yellow sun and sand, and the red inland land highlight the uniqueness of Australia's native culture.

The design concept of the torch comes from the architectural outline of the Sydney Opera House and the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, and the entire shape is similar to the darts used by Australian Aborigines. The torch body is divided into three layers, the basic colors are blue, white, black, respectively, symbolizing water, fire, earth.

The torch for the Sydney Olympics was designed to be safe and environmentally friendly. The inner layer of the torch is made of stainless steel and contains the fuel system and the combustion system; The middle layer is made of blue electroplated aluminum and contains the fuel tank; An aluminum coating covers the remaining two layers.
The torch weighs about 1000 grams, the fuel used is a mixture of propane and butane, easy to fully burn, less waste, and can guarantee combustion for 20 minutes, very environmentally friendly.
The torch has been rigorously tested and can still burn in winds of 65 kilometers per hour and tropical torrential rain. In addition, the torch has a specially designed automatic extinguishing function. When the torch is turned upside down or placed on the ground for 10 seconds, it automatically goes out.
The mascots of the 27th Olympic Games are three unique Australian animals, representing the sky, water and land of Australia. They are kookaburra birds
"Ollie"
The platypus "Syd" and the ant-eating echidna "Miliere". All three animals are interesting and friendly rare protected animals. It is said that they were chosen as mascots to show that the Sydney Olympics is a friendly Olympics that protects the environment. These three animals have long been seen on Australian stamps.

The slogan of the 27th Summer Olympic Games
"
"Share the spirit" was coined by Sydney in 1992. At the time, Sydney was bidding to host the 27th Summer Olympic Games, and the slogan actually first appeared as a bid slogan. Through this slogan, Sydney attempts to reflect the universal characteristics and ideals of the Olympic spirit, and also to encourage and set off the upsurge of Sydney and Australians to apply for the Olympic Games, and as an invitation for people from all over the world to participate in and share the Sydney Olympic Games. This slogan was used from the Olympic bid until the end of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It is amazing that "Share the spirit" has almost become the spiritual leader of the Sydney Summer Olympic Games since Sydney's bid for the Olympic Games, which inspired and contributed to a series of activities such as visual design and image promotion of the Sydney Olympic Games, and made great contributions to the shaping of the overall image of the Sydney Olympic Games. It also makes the world sigh for it!
The United States Anti-Doping Association announced in the morning of October 9, 2007 Beijing time, the former American women's 100 meters
Marion Jones
He was banned for two years and his MEDALS from the Sydney Games will be forfeited after admitting to doping. U.S. Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberroth also issued a public apology to the 205 national Olympic committees around the world. Jones, meanwhile, confirmed to reporters that she had returned all five MEDALS she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, three gold and two bronze. In Sydney, Jones won gold MEDALS in the women's 100 meters, 200 meters and 4×400 meters relay, as well as bronze MEDALS in the women's long jump and 4×100 meters relay.
In December 2007, the International Olympic Committee officially revoked the three gold and two bronze MEDALS won by Jones at the Sydney Olympics.
On April 10, 2008 (Beijing time), the International Olympic Committee announced that because of Jones' use of banned drugs during the Sydney Olympics, the United States women's relay team won two women's relay MEDALS (women's 4×400 meters relay gold, 4×100 meters relay bronze) in the Sydney Olympics.
On December 10, 2009 (Beijing time), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially announced the reallocation of some of the MEDALS won by Jones at the Sydney Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland. Ioc decision: 1.
Sydney Olympics women's 100m gold medalist vacant
The runner-up at the time, Greece's Tanou, still maintained the runner-up result because the latter was also involved in a doping scandal at the 2004 Olympics. Jamaican Tania Lawrence, the original bronze medalist, and Jamaican evergreen Otti, who finished fourth, will be replaced with silver and bronze, respectively. 2.
The 200m gold medal will go to Davis Thompson of the Bahamas, the original runner-up
Sri Lanka's Jayasingar and Jamaica's B Donald won the silver and bronze MEDALS respectively. 3. In the long jump, Jones' bronze medal will be awarded to Russia's Petra Kotova.
The seven other members of the U.S. women's 4×400 meter relay and 4×100 meter relay at the 2000 Sydney Olympics defied the IOC's decision to strip them of their MEDALS
Court of Arbitration for Sport
(CAS) filed an appeal. On 16 July 2010, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in Geneva that Jones' teammates deserved MEDALS and that the IOC's forfeiture of the MEDALS was invalid. The International Court of Arbitration said: "The women's 4x400m relay and 4x100m relay events of the Sydney Olympic Games in which the United States competed were not disqualified and the honours awarded to these athletes should not be withdrawn by the IOC." According to the rules of competition at the Sydney Olympics, the doping of one person on the relay team will not affect the results of the whole team. It would be unfair to the other innocent athletes to take away their MEDALS."

The other seven members of Team USA are: Jere Miles Clark (4x400m relay), Monique Hennergan (4x400m relay), Latassa Collander Clark (4x400m relay), Kryste Gaines (4x100m relay),
Tory Edwards
(4x100m relay), Nansing Perry (4x100m relay) and Paschen Richardson (4x100m relay).

The IOC's decision to disqualify the US team came two months after Antonio Pettigrew, a member of the 4x400m relay team in Sydney, admitted to doping during the event.
On August 10, 2010, Antonio Pettigrew was found dead in his car at the age of 42.
