▲Larkin and eight other students at [[St John's College, University of Sydney]], planned to protest against the Olympic flame torch relay. One reason for the protest was that the torch relay was invented by the [[Nazi]]s for the [[1936 Summer Olympics]] in [[Berlin]], [[Nazi Germany|Germany]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Bowlby|first=Chris|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7330949.stm|title=The Olympic torch's shadowy past|publisher=BBC|date=2008-04-05|access-date=2008-04-06| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080406112208/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7330949.stm| archive-date=April 6, 2008| url-status= live}}</ref>
===Persiapan===
Seorang siswa yang berencana untuk berlari mengenakan celana pendek putih dan atasan putih, dan seorang pengolok kedua mengenakan seragam angkatan udara cadangan untuk bertindak sebagai pengawal militer palsu. Seluruh kelompok pengolok membuat obor buatan sendiri dengan mengambil kaki kayu dari kursi, menutupinya dengan cat perak (masih basah), dan memaku kaleng [[plum pudding]] kosong di atasnya. Hasilnya adalah objek berbentuk obor. Untuk menyalakan obor, mereka mengisinya dengan pakaian dalam yang disiram [[minyak tanah]].<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes" /><ref name="QI" /><ref name=":2" />

===Preparation===
The one student who planned to run wore white shorts and a white top, and a second prankster dressed in a reserve air force uniform to act as a fake military escort. The full group of pranksters built a homemade torch by taking a wooden leg from a chair, covering it with silver paint (still wet), and nailing an empty [[plum pudding]] can to the top. The result was a roughly torch-shaped object. To fuel the torch, they filled it with underwear doused in [[kerosene]].<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes" /><ref name="QI" /><ref name=":2" />
 
Awalnya, kedua siswa dan obor palsu mereka mengundang tawa dari penonton dan polisi. Kemudian si pelari mengayunkan tangannya secara dramatis, tanpa sengaja melemparkan celana dalam yang basah oleh minyak tanah dari obornya. Dia panik dan melarikan diri. Kerumunan yang kebingungan itu semakin mendekat. Salah satu siswa nakal di pinggir lapangan, Peter Gralton, mengambil celana dalam yang terbakar dan memerintahkan sesama siswa nakal Barry Larkin untuk berlari dengan obor palsu, menendang pantatnya.<ref name=":2" />
=== Execution ===▼
▲An estimated 30,000 people lined the streets of [[Sydney]] in anticipation. When the hoaxers arrived, they set the kerosene-drenched underwear on fire. With flaming torch in hand, the designated runner set off through the streets on foot. His friend, disguised as a uniformed motorcycle escort, joined him.<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes">{{cite web|url=http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/archive/permalink/the_olympic_underwear_relay|title=Olympic Underwear Relay|publisher=Museum of Hoaxes|access-date=2012-01-21}}</ref><ref name="QI">{{cite video|people=[[Stephen Fry]]|title=QI Presents: Strictly Come Duncing|medium=DVD|publisher=Warner Music Entertainment|date=2007}}</ref><ref name=":2" />

Initially, the two students and their fake torch garnered laughter from spectators and police. Then the runner swung his arms dramatically, accidentally flinging the kerosene-drenched underpants from his torch. He panicked and fled. The confused crowd drew closer. One of the prankster students on the sidelines, Peter Gralton, retrieved the burning underpants and commanded fellow prankster Barry Larkin to run with the fake torch, sending him off with a kick on the rump.<ref name=":2" />
 
Barry Larkin, mengenakan dasi dan celana panjang abu-abu karena ia tidak menyangka akan berlari, mulai berlari. Kerumunan orang mengerumuninya hingga polisi, yang yakin bahwa ia adalah pembawa obor resmi, mengawalnya sampai ke Balai Kota. Ia kemudian mengenang, "Itu mengejutkan — suara bising, pita pengukur, dan lampu kilat fotografi. Yang dapat saya pikirkan hanyalah, apa yang akan saya lakukan saat sampai di sana?"<ref name=":3">{{Cite news |date=2000-06-29 |title=Flaming undies!

Hills begitu gugup sehingga ia bergegas menyampaikan pidatonya yang telah dipersiapkan tanpa melihat obor atau memperhatikan cat di tangannya. Barry Larkin berjalan pergi dengan tenang, menghindari perhatian, dan menaiki trem kembali ke universitasnya.<ref name=":2" /> Wali Kota tidak menyadari bahwa obor itu palsu sampai seseorang berbisik di telinganya. Ia kemudian mengonfirmasi ke mikrofon bahwa telah terjadi kejahilan.<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes"/><ref name="QI"/><ref name=":2" />

Barry Larkin, wearing a tie and gray slacks because he did not expect to run, began to run. The crowd closed around him until police, who believed he was the official torchbearer, escorted him all the way to City Hall. He later recalled, "It was staggering — the noise, ticker tape and flash photography.

Hills was so flustered that he rushed into his prepared remarks without looking at the torch or paying attention to the paint on his hand. Barry Larkin walked quietly away, avoiding attention, and took a tram back to his university.<ref name=":2" /> The Lord Mayor did not realise the torch was a fake until someone whispered in his ear.

===Penerimaan insiden===
▲The audience became unruly. Larkin recalls about half of the crowd dispersed before Harry Dillon ran up carrying the genuine torch. As the crowd descended into chaos, police attempted to create an opening through the masses where Dillon could run. When Dillon finally passed the torch to the next runner, an army truck had to clear the path.<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes"/> A city council member remarked, "it is a wonder to me that people were not killed or injured."<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=1956-11-20 |title=Torch hoax may bar procession |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sydney-morning-herald-torch-hoax-may/152615943/ |access-date=2024-08-04 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |pages=1}}</ref>
Barry Larkin bergabung dengan teman-temannya di sebuah pub untuk menonton kejadian tersebut di televisi. Direktur perguruan tinggi Larkin mengatakan kepadanya "bagus sekali, Nak" saat sarapan keesokan paginya, dan kemudian pada hari itu ketika ia tiba di tempat ujian, teman-teman sekelasnya menyambutnya dengan tepuk tangan meriah. Larkin gagal dalam ujian, dan kemudian mengatakan kepada seorang reporter: "itu cerita lain".<ref name=":2" />
 
Peristiwa ini menjadi berita internasional dan menimbulkan kontroversi sengit di media lokal.

===Reception of the incident===
Barry Larkin joined his friends at a pub to watch the events on television. The director of Larkin's college told him "well done, son" at breakfast the next morning, and later that day when he arrived to an exam, classmates greeted him with a standing ovation. Larkin failed the exam, later telling a reporter: "that's another story".<ref name=":2" />

Sebelum [[Olimpiade Musim Panas 2000]] di Sydney, tipuan Larkin kembali mendapat perhatian media. Polisi menempatkan petugas keamanan di sepanjang rute sebagai tindakan perlindungan terhadap calon peniru. Dua orang mencoba mencuri obor dan satu orang mencoba memadamkan obor menggunakan [[alat pemadam kebakaran]]. Tak satu pun upaya berhasil.<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes"/>
 
==Related eventsReferensi==
Before the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in Sydney, Larkin's hoax received another wave of media attention. Police stationed security guards along the route as a protective measure against potential copycats. Two people attempted to steal the torch and one man tried to put out the torch using a [[fire extinguisher]]. None of the attempts succeeded.<ref name="Museum of Hoaxes"/>
