you might find this interesting as it is fairly well documented (as im sure this games will be once the heavy ban on marketing is lifted at the end of they year) and id imagine (although im not a rigger) that this is in principle hung in the same way... especially as its the same company! (although dont know if they were rigging aswell?)

TBH Athens kind of passed me by, apart from the DNA spiral thing, but thanks for the tip, which after some searching puts Stage One as likely supplier:

L&SI have a comprehensive article about the opening ceremony in general, now available in digital form - link from the front page of their website at http://www.lsionline.co.uk or direct via http://tinyurl.com/LSIolympic . Or, I guess, pick up a copy of the September issue from PLASA...
