What is Olympic knowledge?

The first modern summer Olympic Games opened in Athens on April 6th. In the opening ceremony, solemn classical strings were played, and 1958 was designated as the Olympic anthem by the International Olympic Committee. The composer of this song is Greek samaras and the lyricist is palamas.

2. Olympic flag

19 13, Coubertin, France, proposed to set up the flag of the International Olympic Committee, which was designed with a boundless white background and five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red in the center from left to right, representing Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the United States in turn. A white background means that all countries can compete under their own flags. In July 2004, the Olympic flag was raised for the first time. 1920, the Belgian Olympic Committee, which hosted the 5th Summer Olympic Games, presented the same national flag to the International Olympic Committee, which was hung during the Olympic Games and then customized. The flag was handed over from the host city of the last Olympic Games to the last Olympic Games and kept by the host city. During the competition, only borrowed items are hung in the main stadium. 1952, Oslo presented the flag of the Winter Olympics to the International Olympic Committee in the same way as the Summer Olympics. 1970, the international Olympic Committee gave the Olympic flag a new meaning in the fourth issue of Olympic review: it symbolizes the unity of five continents, and athletes gather at the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit.

3. Olympic flame

1934, the Athens meeting of the International Olympic Committee decided to restore the old system of the ancient Olympic Games. During the Olympic Games, the Olympic flame burned in the main stadium. The flame was taken from the Olympic Games and passed to the host country through the torch relay. Before that, in the main competition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, there was a tall tower burning with flaming fireworks from beginning to end. This is the first time that this kind of activity has been held in the Olympic Games. 1936 On July 20th, Olympia held the lighting ceremony of 1 1 Summer Olympic Games. After that, everyone held the torch and ran the relay of 1 km, passing through Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria and Czechoslovakia, and arrived in Berlin on 1 in August, with a total distance of 3075 km. The International Olympic Committee officially stipulates that lighting the Olympic flame is an essential ceremony for the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games. In addition, the flame is lit to commemorate the soldiers who died in World War I, and the torch relay symbolizes the spread of peace and friendship around the world.

Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of modern Olympic Games.

Pierre De Coubertin is the founder of the modern Olympic Games. He was born in a noble family in Paris. After graduating from high school, I went to Paris University to study law and politics, and then I went to England to study pedagogy. At that time, outdoor sports in Britain had a great shock to Coubertin. He is determined to go back and change France's indifference to sports. He is more eager to expand world sports exchanges. 1863, Coubertin proposed to hold a competition similar to the ancient Olympic Games, but he did not copy it, but extended the ancient Olympic Games, which used to be confined to Greeks, to the whole world. Although Coubertin's idea was resisted by some opposition parties, with his unremitting efforts, representatives of 20 countries finally held the first "International Conference on Rebuilding the International Olympic Games" at the University of Paris in June 1894. On the evening of June 23, the Committee officially announced the establishment of the International Olympic Committee, which is of epoch-making significance to the development of world sports and the Olympic Movement. Many countries regard this day as a sports festival, and China also designated this day as the Olympic Day in 1986.

5. The history of modern Olympic Games

The Olympic Games has a history of 1200 years since it was held in Olympia, Greece in 776 AD. At that time, there were five events (including discus, javelin, long jump, running and wrestling), running, boxing, wrestling, Pankration (a mixed sport of boxing and wrestling), carriage race and horse riding.

The revival of the Olympic Games began in 1896, when Athens, Greece hosted the first modern Olympic Games. At that time, 245 athletes from 14 countries participated in the competition. Since then, the number of participating athletes, participating countries and participating events has increased day by day. In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games in Australia, more than 65,438+000,000 athletes from 65,438+099 countries participated in the competition.

Winter sports first joined the Olympic Games in 1908, when it was figure skating. Ice hockey increased from 1920. 1924, the Winter Olympic Games was held in Nice, Tchami for the first time. Because 1994, the Winter Olympics is scheduled to be held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, so the current Olympic Games are held every two years, and the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are held alternately.

The Olympic movement has a series of unique and distinctive symbols, such as the Olympic symbol, motto, Olympic flag, anthem, emblem, medal and mascot. These signs have rich cultural connotations and vividly reflect the value orientation and cultural connotation of the Olympic ideal. Today, with the continuous development of the Olympic movement, the Olympic symbol has become a household name all over the world and is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
