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>▼

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" />
