London Olympics chief Sebastian Coe says he'd like to see Sydney's party atmosphere from 2000 repeated at the 2012 Games.
Organizing committee chairman Coe, a two-time Olympic track gold medalist in the 1,500 meters, tells a Parliament House breakfast on Wednesday that the Sydney Games were ''the high-water mark for a sporting event.'' Coe says the 2000 Olympics had a ''party atmosphere that was driven by athlete-led performance in the venues.''
Coe says he's also looking forward to five-time gold medalist Ian Thorpe returning to the Olympic pool next year, calling it a ''fantastic prospect.''
