温哥华冬奥会的开幕式并没有如主办方所想的那样进行。当长达三小时的演出进入最高潮,聚光灯下是五名举着火炬的加拿大体坛英豪,而一个技术失误毁了原先设计的对称性。
One of four pillars designed to rise from the stadium floor and form the Olympic cauldron malfunctioned, leaving the speedskater Catriona LeMay Doan unable to join in the lighting. The wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen, the legendary ice-hockey player Wayne Gretzky, the skier Nancy Greene and the NBA star Steve Nash proceeded as planned, but LeMay Doan could only salute the crowd with her torch.
原设计是从场馆地面升起四根冰柱,共同组成奥运主火炬,但其中一根冰柱出现故障,导致速滑名将卡特里奥娜•勒梅•多恩无法参与点火。坐在轮椅上的运动员里克•汉森,传奇冰球运动员韦恩•格雷茨基,滑雪运动员南希•格林和NBA巨星史蒂夫•纳什都按计划继续点燃圣火,但勒梅•多恩就只能举着火炬向观众致意。
再往前追溯到1988年的汉城奥运会,开幕式上,点火仪式被安排在放鸽仪式之后,放飞后的鸽子并没有全部飞走,许多还落在火炬塔上,火炬塔就被点燃了,大批鸽子不幸葬身火海的画面通过电视向全世界直播出去。
The traditional release of live doves at the Olympic opening ceremony was abandoned after Seoul 1988, when around 10 chose not to swoop majestically across the sky but instead to settle on the rim of the Olympic cauldron just as it was being lit and were instantly burned to death.
