During the first week of the Olympics in Sydney, I flew to Melbourne to get out of Sydney while to Olympics were on. I saw a couple of games of Olympic football (soccer) while I was in Melbourne, but as fate would have it, I retuned to Sydney during the second week of the Olympics and saw two other events (athletics and soccer).
