International Sports retests the Beijing and London Olympic Games. Will the history of the Olympic Games be rewritten?

This is a conspiracy against Russia!

In 1896, the first Olympic Games was held in Athens and has been held for 31 times so far. These 31 Olympic Games have been filled with all kinds of scandals. The Olympic Games are never as noble and elegant as you imagine.

For example, in the 1908 London Olympics, British anti-American sentiment was high. In the 400-meter race, American athletes took the lead in crossing the finish line. British officials canceled the results and announced a rematch on the grounds that the American athletes had fouled. The athletes refused a rematch and the British athlete won the gold medal without competition.

For another example, in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the Soviet Union and Hungary were in a fierce political dispute. When competing for the water polo championship, the Soviet team and the Hungarian team met, and things developed in an uncontrollable direction. , the two teams deliberately fought, resulting in many injuries. This incident was also called a "bloody battle in the water." (If you want to know more, you can go to Baidu's "Water Events", the background is more interesting)

Look, the Olympics are never irrelevant to politics. Especially today when the Olympic Games are receiving more and more attention.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, there were 204 participating countries and regions, 11,438 participating athletes, 302 (28 kinds) sports, and more than 60,000 athletes, coaches and officials participating. . It is said that the number of viewers watching the Olympics on television exceeds 4.4 billion. By hosting the Olympic Games, it has indeed improved the cohesion and pride of the Chinese people, and also increased the country's international influence. The value of the political influence brought by the 2008 Olympic Games is difficult to estimate.

Although everyone thinks that the 2012 London Olympics is not as good as the 2008 Beijing Olympics. However, the British "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" still gave a high evaluation. The evaluation was not directed at the Olympic Games itself, but at the political impact brought by the Olympic Games: "The British have been accustomed to their decline for many years, but the success of the Olympic Games has made them It was a pleasant surprise. The Olympics brought joy back to the country and its people, and Britain was now not just a country of immigrants, but a united kingdom once again after so many years of increasing racial separatism.”

So, it is impossible to separate the Olympics from politics. The essence of the Olympic Games is competition, and competition will be divided into strong and weak. Especially when participating at the national level, the athletes' sense of honor and mission is stronger than participating in any competition.

In 1984, Xu Haifeng won his first Olympic gold medal. This gold medal was not only a gold medal for Xu Haifeng, but also a gold medal for the country and the people. Now it may be difficult to imagine that a gold medal is so important. Just like this year's Rio Olympics, the Chinese people's focus is entirely on the individual athletes, and whether they win the gold medal or not is not important. A strong country must be a strong sports country, and a strong sports country must not be weak in strength. At that time, China wanted to win the gold medal in order to bring glory to the country. Of course, the exposure of a gold medal winner is huge. Winning the gold medal is to make China famous in the world, and to tell the world that China is powerful.

The reason why I say so much is actually to explain that the Olympic Games is not only a grand event for athletes, but also a political event for the country to increase exposure and compete for the right to speak. Especially now, what kind of event can attract the attention of the world's 6 billion people? What kind of event makes people more proud than "our number of gold medals ranks first among more than 200 countries and regions around the world"?

Russia is a declining traditional military power. However, it is very helpless that except for military affairs, it cannot compete with the United States in many fields. Under Putin's leadership, it competes with the United States all the time. Although Russia has declined, it still has the pride of a superpower. If you can win a few more gold medals at the Olympics, you can have a good ranking on the gold medal list, and you can also declare to the world that Russia is still the powerful Russia.

Unfortunately, Russia was hurt at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

In July 2016, first Russian track and field athletes were banned from participating in the 2016 Brazil Olympics, and then as many as 37 athletes outside track and field were banned from participating, including many favorites.

The reason for this suspension was originally very legitimate. "The Russian Athletics Association has committed many violations, and the doping of its track and field athletes is not just an individual behavior, but an organized behavior.", so Russia was banned. One commentator said: “The key to the issue is not how many Russian athletes have used doping, nor the extent to which Russian officials were involved in the incident, but whether the international anti-doping agency has the right to issue a doping order to a country based on a single case. ban, and whether such a punishment is unfair. Russia has reason to question the credibility of the report, doubt the double standards of the Western world and the forces behind it, and it is not surprising that it characterizes this as a "well-planned dirty politics." ." This caused a backlash from the Russian people.

In September 2016, hackers showed off their power and exposed WADA’s privileged list (most people believed it was instigated by the Russian government, but Russia refused to admit it. This is somewhat similar to the recent Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ response to the Korean restriction order. , there is no evidence anyway).

According to reports, “Of the 11 people exposed, 9 won medals, including 4 British athletes who won 3 golds and 1 silver, and 3 Australian athletes who won 1 gold and 2 silvers. Under pressure, The British Anti-Doping Organization was also forced to release the news that 53 of the 366 British athletes participating in the Rio Olympics had obtained the privilege of taking prohibited drugs. This is the first time that such a large-scale and public disclosure of the privilege of taking prohibited drugs has been disclosed. "The names on these lists are obviously from European and American countries, perfectly avoiding Asian athletes. This appears to be a clear act of revenge.

The credibility of the International Olympic Committee has dropped significantly. Finally, in November 2016, the International Olympic Committee was unwilling to be the chopping block and began to fight back, depriving many athletes from Russia and Eastern Europe of medals in the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics. Judging from the list of deprived athletes, Asian athletes are also perfectly avoided.

The Olympic Games have always been a model of fairness, fairness, and openness. However, I am afraid that people around the world have never imagined that there is endless filth hidden under the white snow. In short, in this series of events, the International Olympic Committee’s joke was seen by people around the world.

History is never changed, but created, whether in the past or in the future. When hackers showed off their power and exposed WADA's privileged list, a new history of the Olympics was written.

Based on the urinary nature of the Russian fighting nation, I don’t think Russia will suffer silently like this. What do you think?
