In 1894, Baron Pierre de Coubertin launched the idea of renovating the Olympic Games. In the year 2000, the games were held in Sydney, which was chosen at the Monaco session. For the last Millennium Games, the city of Sydney called on more than 47,000 volunteers, aged 15 to 83, to ensure that they took place in the best possible conditions, and it succeeded. On a sporting level, apart from a few problems related to doping, these games were a real success.
