1992 Summer Games, Barcelona - The opening ceremonies close with one of the most spectacular cauldron-lightings in Olympic history, as Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo lights the flame by shooting a burning arrow high into the air. It’s soon revealed that Rebollo was ordered to actually overshoot the cauldron rather than risk hitting a spectator below.
