SYDNEY---- Sydney will come across its biggest ever transport challenge when almost 400,000 spectators (viewers) flow into Olympic Part today, the opening day of track and field.
Games organizers yesterday made no secret that they were nervous about the unprecedented numbers that will stretch public transport in Australia's largest city to the limit.
To make matters worse, rain showers are expected.
"Friday's the day we have been worried about," said Paul Willoughby, a member of the Sydney Games Organizing Committee (SGOC).
"Everything up to now has been calm before the storm," he told a news conference." It's now hailstones (冰雹).
Track and field is the high point of the Olympics, and the atmosphere in Sydney is electric as national icon (偶像) Cathy Freeman prepares for the race that all Australia has been waiting for, the women's 400 metres.
The serious challenge facing Games organizers today will be to fill and empty the 110,000-seat Stadium Australia--- the world's largest Olympic Venue ---- twice in one day. This has never been attempted before.
Organizers suppose that it will take at least three hours for trains and buses to take and bring each wave of spectators to the huge stadium. For there to be any hope of success, the first batch (批) must set out well before dawn.
"That will put an extraordinary pressure on the transport system," Willoughby said.
A single-track train service connects Olympic Park with central Sydney. Earlier this month it was out of action for a time after high winds blew down overhead power wires.
Friday's crowds will reach its top as spectators stream out of the morning session at Stadium Australia and meet with crowds arriving for the evening programme.
