Santiago 2004 Olympic Opening Ceremony
“Bienvenidos, Boa Vista, Welcome, Benvenuto, Bienvenue, and Willkommen to the 2004 Santiago Olympics brought to you live from the Santiago Olympic Stadium in the heart of Santiago, Castillanos by CBN. Good day to you all, I am Marina Tinelli, and I am Matías Fonzi, and thank you for joining us. Santiago was chosen out of about 10 other nations bidding for these Olympics, and after a month of planning, the Olympics have finally come home to Santiago, the site of the 1st Olympiad.”
The camera, which was once focused on the two reporters, soon turned to a large stadium filled to capacity with people from around the world waiting to see the very first Olympics unfold. Soon, the lights of the stadium went dark, and a large spotlight focused on two large boats entering the stadium onto the artificial lake that filled the stadium while smooth tropical music played in the distance. Several men and women stood on the boats with telescopes, looking out as they watched the entire stadium, and then to the other end of the stadium. Then, the voices of the reporters were heard in the background.
Marina: This scene depicts the first settlers who arrived in Castillanos after there land had experienced droughts.
As the two ships passed by, a group of girls wearing skimpy outfits danced around on the middle walkway that had previously separated the two ships holding baskets and large fruits.
Marina: This scene shows how the settlers thrived in the tropical lands of Castillanos, and if you look behind them you can see a float with a few houses on them, which is supposed to resemble the villages that began on the country.
Matías: And behind them comes King Antonelli, the man who united the villages to form a Kingdom. The King sits on the throne carried by the float behind the villages.
Once the throne was halfway down the walkway, a large catapult carried by men dressed in war outfits entered the arena as the tropical music ended and the beat of a loud drum played.
Matías: The Catapult depicts the Castillanian War, which fought after a split between the north and the south for the island of Salvador. The next float shows life after the war, sad and miserable in the north, lavish and flourishing in the south, while after that you can see the coat of arms of the seven royal families.
The beat of the drum ended with the tropical music coming on again while seven women entered the stadium onto the walkway holding seven flags, which were the coat of arms for the seven royal families of Castillanos, sometimes known as the “founding fathers” of the country.
Marina: The next float shows life in the twentieth century as actors depict working on large buildings and lavish palaces, while the next float has actors playing scientists, working away showing the technical advance of the country, and finally the last float shows children of many different races playing together, showing the diversity of our nation.
The Parade closes as a large symphony plays loud classical music until the end of the song, where a few fireworks shoot off, giving light to the entire stadium. Next, Salsa Music plays lightly, and begins picking up volume as many dancers dance around in national costumes on both walkways until the loud music reaches its height, where the volume drops until only the beat of a drum can be heard. The spotlight turns off, and the stadium becomes pitch black.
A man enters his way into the stadium holding the Olympic Torch which he displays proudly.
Marina: The man you know see is Trevor Sheon of Webombu holding the Olympic Torch which is now near the end of its 325 mile journey.
The man stops near the end of the walkway, where he passes the torch to Reynaldo Gianecchini, who grabs it and begins the last leg of the journey to the Flames Cauldrun, located at the top of the Santiago Tower. As soon as he leaves the stadium, the two walkways begin to sink and the lights go on as several large fountains begin a large show of water. The water dances around making many formations until finally the water becomes colored and display the Olympic Rings. Fireworks launch into the sky as the crowd claps in approval until the stadium becomes dark with the fireworks being the only lights.
Finally, the lights go on as the entire floor of the stadium was raised. Two women walk down the long track, one waving the flag of the Olympics, while the other waving the flag of Castillanos, and the Parade of Nations begin.
