The archer in Barcelona tops it. I bet they had a guy on standby with a button ready to light the cauldron if the arrow missed but it was still both gutsy and classy.
The Ski Jump into Lillehammer's ceremony was cool too!
The Beijing ceremony was packed with stunning moments and the artistic portion was phenomenal and almost goes without saying.
A small moment that stuck out for me was seeing the members of Canada's Field Hockey team wearing their dress turbans. It made me really proud and does more to preach the Games' message of togetherness than any speech could.
