Short for "Olympic Games". The World Comprehensive Games sponsored by the International Olympic Committee. It is named after its origin in Olympia, ancient Greece. It is held every four years. From 776 BC to 393 AD, the ancient Olympic Games lasted for 293 sessions, which were later abolished by the Roman emperor Dior on charges of pagan activities. 1894 The International Sports Conference was held in Paris. According to Coubertin's proposal to establish the International Olympic Committee, it was decided to resume the Olympic Games. The first modern Olympic Games was held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. After that, it will be held in turn around the world for 16 days. There are more than 30 sports in the competition. Held 1924 Olympic Games with winter events. It is customary to call the non-winter Olympic Games "Summer Olympic Games" or "Olympic Games".
Introduction of the Olympic Games
The Olympic Games is called the Olympic Games for short. It includes Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics, Paralympic Games, Youth Olympics and Special Olympics. It is an international sports meeting sponsored by the International Olympic Committee, including a variety of sports. It is held every four years. The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece (776 BC) and got its name because it was held in Olympia. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, Baron Coubertin of France founded the truly modern Olympic Games. Since 1896, the Olympic Games have been held every four years (interrupted three times in two world wars, in 19 16, 1940 and 1944 respectively), and the duration of the Olympic Games does not exceed/kloc-0. Since the Winter Olympics was founded in 1924, the Olympic Games is also called the Summer Olympics. The Olympic Games has now become a symbol of peace and friendship. The Olympic spirit is handed down from generation to generation and never stops.
Olympic logo
abstract
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.
According to the Olympic Charter, the property rights of Olympic symbols, Olympic flags, Olympic motto and Olympic anthem belong to the exclusive rights of the International Olympic Committee. The IOC may take all appropriate measures to ensure that Olympic symbols, flags, aphorisms and songs are protected by law at home and abroad.
Olympic rings symbol
Nowadays, the most popular symbol is the Olympic rings. With the development of the Olympic Movement, it has become an image representative of the Olympic spirit and culture. Where the five rings "turn", the Olympic movement will take root and sprout.
Speaking of the origin of the five rings, there is an interesting story. 1936 1 1 The torch relay was held for the first time in Berlin Olympic Games. The torch relay route starts from Olympia, leaves northern Greece, crosses Austria along the Danube, and finally enters Germany. In order to set off this symbolic activity, Carl Dim, chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and his colleagues arranged the passing ancient Greek ruins almost completely according to the ancient Olympic scenes.
A special ceremony will be held when the torch arrives at the ancient sports ground in Panacas Mountain, Delphi. At this time, Tim had a whim, and designed and carved the five rings of the modern Olympic Movement on the four sides of a rectangular stone about 3 feet high, and put it at one end of the starting line of the ancient sports ground. After the ceremony, the torch continued northward, but this stone as a prop was left in the ancient sports ground.
Because few people know the true identity of this stone engraved with five rings (later called "dim stone"), it has been regarded as "the remains of the ancient Olympic Games with a history of 3,000 years" for a long time. It was not until the 1960s that Greek officials in Delphi pointed out this mistake. 1972 In May, this fake cultural relic was sent to another place in Delphi-the entrance of Rome Square.
In fact, the five-ring symbol of the modern Olympic movement comes from Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Coubertin thought that the Olympic movement should have its own logo, and this idea lingered in his mind for a long time. 19 13, he finally conceived and designed the five-ring logo and the Olympic flag printed with five rings on a white background, and planned to launch this logo on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the International Olympic Committee.
1965438+June 2004/kloc-0 ~ May 23rd, the International Olympic Committee held a congress at the Sorbonne College in Paris, France, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee. At the commemorative meeting, Coubertin took out his five-ring logo and a flag printed with the five rings for everyone to show, and suggested that they should be used as symbols of the Olympic Movement. After listening to Coubertin's explanation, the meeting decided to use the Olympic rings and the Olympic flag as Olympic symbols.
The Olympic five-ring symbol is made up of five Olympic rings nested from left to right, which can be monochrome, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The original explanation was that the five colors represented the colors of national flags, and later the five rings with different colors were interpreted as symbols of the five continents. Official website's suggestion that "each ring represents a corresponding continent" is wrong. (See item "Olympic rings")
The flag is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide with a white background as a symbol of purity. Blue, yellow, black, green and red are interlocking. 19 14, the Olympic flag was raised for the first time at the Olympic Games held in Paris. 1920, the Olympic flag flew for the first time at the Summer Olympic Stadium in Antwerp. After this Olympic Games, the Belgian Olympic Committee presented the same national flag to the International Olympic Committee, which was hung during the Olympic Games and then customized. At the opening ceremonies of previous Olympic Games, the flag was handed over by the last host city and kept by the host city. During the competition, only substitutes were hung in the main stadium. 1952, Oslo presented the flag of the International Olympic Committee for the Winter Olympics, which was handed over, preserved and used in the same way as the Summer Olympics.
1June, 979, the International Olympic Committee officially announced the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings: according to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings is: symbolizing the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit at the Olympic Games. Like a temple built of colored rocks. This huge temple,
Olympic anthem
People from all over the world come to worship. 1958 At the 55th plenary meeting held in Tokyo, the IOC finally decided to use the Olympic anthem as the Olympic anthem. Its music score is kept in ioc headquarters. Since then, this melodious ancient Greek music can be heard at the opening and closing ceremonies of every Olympic Games. The lyrics of this song are as follows:
Ancient immortal gods,
Beautiful, great and upright father.
Pray for arrival to appear,
Let eye-catching heroes appear in the sky of this earth,
As a witness to your glory.
Please light up the running, wrestling and throwing events.
These all-out noble competitions.
Present the winner with a crown made of olive branches,
Create a steel torso.
Valleys, mountains and oceans shine with you.
Ah! Immortal ancient gods.
Olympic emblem
Emblem of the first Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, 1896
Whether it was 1896 a century ago or the coming year of 2008, Athens, Greece chose to express its supreme understanding and respect for the Olympic movement with an olive branch symbolizing peace and friendship. 1896, Athens hosted the first modern Olympic Games. At first, the first Olympic Games had neither an emblem nor a poster. The painting I saw was the cover of the report submitted by the Athens Olympic Committee to the International Olympic Committee, which was later used to represent this Olympic Games. The majestic Acropolis, the goddess Athena holding an olive branch, and the deeply embedded horseshoe prints. The bronze relief of the Olympic emblem displayed in front of the world exudes a strong flavor of ancient Greece. In the upper left corner, it says 776- 1896 BC.
Represents the relationship between the modern Olympic Games and the ancient Olympic Games.
1900 emblem of the second Olympic Games in Paris, France
Paris has hosted two Olympic Games. Although Paris in 1900 could only play a supporting role in the World Expo, Parisians in 1924 held the best Olympic Games in the history of that time with their enthusiasm. Let's appreciate the charm of this city through the emblems of these two Olympic Games. 1900 The main symbol of the Paris Olympic Games is a woman dressed as a traditional French knight, and her right hand holds high three traditional French weapons-foil, sabre and epee. The design is simple, but full of French flavor. Since this Olympic Games, women have entered the Olympic family and participated in exhibition competitions.
Emblem of the 3rd Olympic Games in St. Louis, USA +0904
At the beginning of the 20th century and at the end of the 20th century, the United States held two Olympic Games respectively, and the design styles of the Olympic emblems of the two Olympic Games were also quite different: the early realism and the recent abstraction. 1904, the third Olympic Games was held in St. Louis, USA. This sign shows the characteristics of the host city with the "fisheye" stunt. Because it was held earlier, the logo at that time appeared in the form of Expo posters.
Emblem of the 4th London Olympic Games +0908
1906 The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy temporarily moved the 1908 Olympic Games originally scheduled for Rome to London, but the London Olympic Games dedicated the first opening ceremony in the history of modern Olympic Games. During the period of 1948, the world was still in the recovery period after World War II, and people debated whether it was necessary to hold a sports event during this period. However, 1948 London Olympic Games was very popular in the end, which gave great spiritual comfort to people who were deeply traumatized by the war. 1908 The emblem of the London Olympic Games embodies a strong style of the times. The clothes of high jumpers, the posture of high jump, the cinder track behind them and the swimming pool in the center of the sports ground are all branded with the brand of that era.
Emblem of the 5th Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden +09 12
Sweden and Finland, located in northern Europe, are countries with early development of modern sports. Historically, they held a Summer Olympic Games respectively, which fully reflected the Nordic bodybuilding and vitality in the emblem. 19 12 The emblem of the Stockholm Olympic Games in Sweden condenses the yearning of athletes from all over the world for the Olympic Movement: it depicts a group of competitive Olympic athletes waving their national flags and rushing to the Olympic Stadium. From this, we can vaguely smell the ancient Olympic Games.
Emblem of the Seventh Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium, 1920
1920, the Olympic Games chose Antwerp, a port city with a long history in Belgium, which is also the most prosperous commercial and artistic city in Europe. 1928, Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands, attracted people who advocate sports all over the world with its rich human history. The design styles of the emblems of the two Olympic Games are similar. On the upper right of the emblem of the Antwerp Olympic Games in Belgium is the shield of the host city, with a discus and a strong semi-naked man in the middle, which reminds people of the ancient Olympic Games. The background is the famous Antwerp Tower. In the emblem, Qi Fei, the national flag of the participating countries, symbolizes the unity of the five continents.
Emblem of the Eighth Olympic Games in Paris, France, 1924 (Go your own way)
Paris has hosted two Olympic Games. Although Paris in 1900 could only play a supporting role in the World Expo, Parisians in 1924 held the best Olympic Games in the history of that time with their enthusiasm. Let's appreciate the charm of this city through the emblems of these two Olympic Games. 1924 The emblem of the Paris Olympic Games is mainly the emblem of Paris, with an ancient sailboat sailing in the sea in the middle, with the captions of "The Eighth Paris Olympic Games 1924" and "French Olympic Committee". Strictly speaking, this is the first emblem in the history of modern Olympic Games. Since then, the Olympic emblem and poster have been officially separated.
Emblem of the 9th Olympic Games in Amsterdam, Netherlands +0928
1920, the Olympic Games chose Antwerp, a port city with a long history in Belgium, which is also the most prosperous commercial and artistic city in Europe. 1928, Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands, attracted people who advocate sports all over the world with its rich human history. The design styles of the emblems of the two Olympic Games are similar. Compared with Antwerp, the emblem of the Amsterdam Olympic Games eight years later incorporates more modern factors. On the blue background, a long-distance runner holds high a white laurel branch symbolizing victory. At the bottom of the emblem, there are waves of the Dutch flag in red, white and blue. The emblem creatively combines elements such as Holland, sports, victory and Olympics.
Emblem of the 10th Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA (the first emblem to use the Olympic symbol)
The two Los Angeles Olympic Games are of great significance to China people. 1932 Liu Changchun represented China in the track and field competition of the Olympic Games for the first time, while the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984 was the first time that New China organized a delegation to participate in the Summer Olympic Games after returning to the Olympic family. 1932 the main body of the emblem of the los Angeles Olympic games is the national flag of the host country, and the center of the emblem is the Olympic five-ring symbol, representing the victory of laurel branches. Faster, higher and stronger Olympic spirit appeared in the Olympic emblem for the first time, which fully demonstrated the American spirit pursued by Americans.
12 Olympic Games and 13 Olympic Games
The International Olympic Committee selected Tokyo as the venue for the 12 Olympic Games, which was originally scheduled to be held from September to 19401October 6. 1937 Japan launched a war of aggression against China. Under the pressure of the military, the Japanese Olympic Committee had to announce that 1940 Japan could not host the Olympic Games. In this situation, the IOC decided to change the venue of the Summer Olympic Games to Helsinki, with the duration of 1940, from July 20th to August 4th. Due to the outbreak of World War II, Finland notified the International Olympic Committee to give up the right to host the Games on June 5438+0940+1 October1. Subsequently, wars spread all over Europe and around the world, and the 12 Olympic Games was aborted.
On the eve of World War II, the International Olympic Committee also selected the venue for the 13 Olympic Games. 1939 The London meeting of the International Olympic Committee selected London as the venue. However, due to the war, this Olympic Games was not held.
Olympic torch
Today's torch relay and the Olympic flame, since there is no ancient Olympic club, where should we start? In fact, it has something to do with both world wars. The Olympic flame was first lit in 1920 to commemorate the heroes who died in another world war. During the period of 1928, the International Olympic Committee took lighting the Olympic flame as the prescribed action of the opening ceremony.
However, the torch relay of the modern Olympic Games is still due to Nazi Germany. 1936 Before the Berlin Olympic Games, inspired by Hitler, the Nazi leader who worshipped ancient Greece, especially Spartans, Dr. Karl Dimei, the head of the Berlin Olympic Organizing Committee, combined two customs of ancient Greece and created a set of Olympic torch relay and flame ceremony that is still in use today.
1936 On July 20th, under the arrangement of Nazi Germany, Greek priests and 14 local boys and girls stood in the stadium of the ancient Olympic Games in traditional costumes and concentrated sunlight on a piece of wood with the reflection of a mirror until the wood became hot and caught fire. The virgin is singing: "Oh, sacred flame, light it in an ancient and sacred place, and start your running."
Krupp, the largest Nazi arsenal (where the famous Krupp cannon was produced), also contributed to the Olympic torch relay, and all the torches were marked with Krupp's trademark. After a brief ceremony, the flame passed through Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria and Czechoslovakia, and arrived at the torch platform of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany on August 1 day.
Nazi Germany propaganda machine also publicized the torch relay ceremony. In the large-scale documentary "Olympia" released by Hitler's famous female directors leni riefenstahl 1938, the most famous scene is a Greek relay hand, holding a torch slowly in the Aegean Sea at dusk.
Although life is closely related to Nazi aesthetics, because of her classical and lofty sense of ceremony, it continued to be handed down even after the collapse of Nazi. 1948, London, which was repeatedly bombed by the Nazis, hosted the first Olympic Games after World War II, and followed a series of ceremonies such as the lighting of the old site of Olympia and the torch relay. Today, the torch relay has become a symbol of global solidarity, and people have long forgotten its Nazi origin.
Olympic project mode
An intuitive and concise sign can be seen at a glance without language explanation. The project pattern pays attention to planarization and line drawing, and the coloring is also monochrome, clear and generous. All aspects of this competition use the project mode.
Since the founding of the modern Olympic Games, every Olympic Games has specially drawn the patterns of competition events. Generally speaking, all the events in the Olympic Games have their own project modes. In the Olympic Games before 1950s, common visual symbols were generally used in the project patterns. Since 1964, hieroglyphics representing various sports have appeared in the Olympic Games. A few strokes can accurately and vividly represent a sports event, which not only eliminates the language barrier between people, facilitates the organization of international sports events, but also becomes a special symbol of sports culture. Icons of sports events have become an indispensable part of the Olympic Games.
Since the 18 Olympic Games, except for the 2 1 Olympic Games of 1976, pictograms of previous events have been adopted, and each session has launched its own design, which is quite unique.
Olympic stamps
Olympic commemorative stamps were first issued in April, 1896 and 1996 by the Greek government to raise funds for the first modern Olympic Games. The complete set of *** 12 8 patterns, including the famous sculptor Miron's masterpiece "The Discus Thrower", racing car, arena, Zeus Temple, etc., reproduces the long history of the ancient Olympic Games. Since the Seventh Olympic Games, the baton of commemorative stamps issued by the host country has been passed down to today. 1920 In May, Belgium issued a set of * * * stamps to commemorate the 7th Olympic Games, including two kinds of stamps with teeth and without teeth, featuring runners, carriages and discus throwers, with face values of 5, 10 and 15 Belgian francs respectively. Later, successive host countries issued Olympic stamps.
Uruguay, the non-host country, issued Olympic stamps for the first time in July 1924 to commemorate the Eighth Olympic Games. A set of three * * *, with and without teeth. According to statistics, before World War II, the total number of sports stamps was less than 300. Since 1968, nearly 1,000 kinds of Olympic stamps have been issued by nearly 100 countries and regions in each Olympic Games, and a novel and gorgeous commemorative edition with additional patterns and text descriptions has been designed to continuously expand the publicity function of stamps.
With the increasing scale of the Olympic Games, in order to raise funds, the host country used to issue donated stamps to finance this grand event. The first Olympic stamp marked "X" was1May, 936, which was issued by Germany, with a full set of ***8 stamps and a sheetlet, showing vivid scenes of horizontal bar, diving, football, javelin and other competitions. According to statistics, the number of donated stamps issued by Austria in one session is the least, and the whole set of stamps is only 1 piece, which is designed to commemorate the 1948+0/4 Olympic Games and is also the first donated stamp issued by Austria. The largest number of donated stamps issued by the host country is the Soviet Union. From 1976 to 65438+February to 1980, eight groups of 43 donated stamps for the Moscow Olympic Games were issued, and six donation sheetlets were designed successively, which is the champion of issuing such stamps so far. The athletes on the stamps have vivid shapes and elegant expressions, which give people a feeling of dynamic beauty under the strong contrast of light and dark colors. It is a masterpiece. In order to raise funds for the 24th Olympic Games, South Korea began to issue stamps attached to the Olympic Games, including mascots, from 1986.
Japan is the country that issues the most Olympic stamps in Asia. From 196 1, 10,1to 65438+23, June, 1964, a total of 20 Tokyo Olympic Games stamps were issued, totaling1. Since 20 August 1964, six small commemorative stamps have been issued. The stamps are diamond-shaped, simple in color, fresh in style and pleasing to the eye. The world's first set of gold Olympic stamps was issued by Scotland. It was designed to commemorate 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. There are a full set of *** 10 stamps, which are pictures of weightlifting, football, high jump, sprint and floor exercise. Each stamp has a face value of 8 pounds, a width of 4 1 mm ×64 mm and a purity of 22K.
These works of art between square inches are called "sports miniature", which reflects the sports style of a country and region from one side. The artistic technique of "shrinking the dragon to an inch" and "seeing the big from the small" gives people knowledge, beauty and enjoyment.
Olympic spirit
The Olympic Charter points out that the Olympic spirit is the spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition. The Olympic spirit plays a very important guiding role in the Olympic movement.
First of all, the Olympic spirit emphasizes tolerance and understanding of cultural differences.
Secondly, the Olympic spirit emphasizes the fairness and justice of competitive sports.
As the late American famous black track and field athlete Jesse Owens said, "In sports, people learn not only competition, but also respect for others, life ethics, how to spend their lives and how to treat their own kind."
Olympic motto and famous words
The motto "swifter, higher and stronger" was put forward by Henri Martin Didong, a good friend of Coubertin. He founded a sports school in Paris on 189 1. 1895 He took the above motto as his school motto. Coubertin appreciated this and was praised by the members of the International Olympic Committee at that time. Later, upon Coubertin's proposal, 19 13 was officially approved by the International Olympic Committee, and the above motto was formally written into the Olympic Charter. 1920, at the Sixth International Olympic Congress, the decision of "swifter, higher and stronger" was adopted as a part of the emblem of the International Olympic Committee, and this motto officially became a part of the Olympic symbol. The connotation of "faster, higher and stronger" is very rich. It fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and never-ending struggle of the Olympic Movement and the spirit of daring to climb the peak. In the competition field, in the face of strong players, carry forward the fearless spirit of going forward bravely and dare to fight and win. We are never satisfied with ourselves, constantly overcoming ourselves, surpassing ourselves, reaching new goals and reaching a new realm. We must dare to conquer nature, overcome all kinds of restrictions brought by nature, and get rid of the bondage of nature in order to gain greater freedom. Coubertin himself advocated "swifter, higher and stronger", and at the same time, he vigorously advocated "unity, peace and progress" as the most fundamental goal pursued by the Olympic Movement. "Unity, friendship, peace and progress" is not only the purpose of the Olympic Movement and world sports, but also the common goal that all mankind needs, yearns for and pursues.
"Participation is more important than victory" is a passage quoted by the Bishop of Pennsylvania at the athletes' award ceremony organized by Sao Paulo when Coubertin delivered an important speech at the reception held by the British government during the 4th Olympic Games in London on July 24th. 1908: "Participation is more important than winning the Olympic Games." Coubertin also made an incisive explanation after quoting this sentence: "The important thing in life is not triumph but struggle. Its essence is not victory, but making human beings braver, stronger, more cautious and more generous." This is the guiding ideology of our International Olympic Committee.
Olympic history
Legend: The ancient Olympic Games was a regular sports activity to worship Zeus. Another legend is related to Hercules, the son of Zeus. Heracles is known as "Hercules" because of its great strength. He finished the task that ordinary people couldn't finish in Elis city-state, and cleaned the king's cowshed full of cow dung in less than half a day, but the king didn't want to honor his promise of giving away 300 cows, so Herakler drove the king away in a fit of pique. To celebrate his victory, he held a sports meeting at the Olympic Games.
The most popular story about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games is Pelops's marriage. In order to choose a husband who is both civil and military for his daughter, Elis, the king of ancient Greece, proposed that the candidate must compete with himself in the chariot. In the competition, 13 youths were killed by the king's spear, 14 youths were Pelops, the grandson of Zeus and the sweetheart of the princess. Encouraged by love, he bravely accepted the king's challenge and finally won with wisdom. To celebrate this victory, Pelops and the princess held a grand wedding in front of the temple of Zeus in Olympia. At the meeting, chariots, gladiators and other competitions were arranged. This was the original ancient Olympic Games, and Pelops became the legendary founder of the ancient Olympic Games.
The origin of the Olympic Games is actually closely related to the social situation in ancient Greece. In the 9th-8th century BC, the Greek clan society gradually disintegrated, and the city-state slave society gradually formed, and more than 200 city-states were established. City-states are fragmented, there is no unified monarch, and wars between city-states continue. In order to cope with the war, every city-state actively trains its own soldiers. The children of the Spartan city-state were raised by the state from the age of seven, engaged in sports and military training, and lived a military life. War needs soldiers, soldiers need strong bodies, and sports is a powerful means to train soldiers who can fight. The war promoted the development of Greek sports, and the events of the ancient Olympic Games also had obvious military brand. The people are disgusted with the continuous war and generally long for a peaceful environment to recuperate. Later, the King of Sparta and the King of Elis signed the "Holy Truce Month" treaty. As a result, preparing for military training and sports competitions has gradually become a game of peace and friendship.
In 776 BC, the Greeks stipulated that the Olympic Games should be held every four years. During the Games, all Greek athletes and nearby citizens gathered in Olympia, a beautiful town in southern Greece. In 776 BC, the first Olympic Games was held here, and Dorian Klose won the 192.27 meter sprint. He became the first winner of the first event in the International Olympic Games.
Later, the scale of the ancient Greek Games gradually expanded and became a grand event to show the national spirit. The winner of the competition can get a wreath of laurel, wild olive and palm. From 776 BC to 394 AD, after 1 170 years, * * * held the 293rd ancient Olympic Games. It was banned by the Roman emperor in 394 AD.
1875 ~ 188 1 year, Kutius in Germany excavated cultural relics in Olympic sites, which aroused the interest of the whole world. Therefore, Pierre De Coubertin, a French educator, believes that it is of great significance to restore the tradition of the ancient Greek Olympic Games to promote the development of international sports. Under his advocacy and active running, the first international sports conference was held in Paris in June 1894. The International Sports Congress decided to call the world-wide comprehensive games the Olympic Games, and held the first modern Olympic Games in Athens, once every four years, in turn in all member countries.
By 2004, 28 Olympic Games had been held. In 2008, the 29th session will be held in Beijing, China.
The first Olympic Charter initiated and formulated by Coubertin was adopted at the Paris International Conference in June 1894. It involves the basic purposes, principles and other related matters of the Olympic Movement. 192 1 The Olympic Games in Lausanne formulated the Olympic Law, including the Olympic Charter, the Constitution of the International Olympic Committee, the Rules and Protocols of the Olympic Games, the General Rules for Hosting the Olympic Games and the Rules of the Olympic Parliament. Over the past decades, the Olympic Law has been revised and supplemented many times, but the basic principles and spirit formulated by Coubertin have not changed.
1900, at the second Olympic Games held in Paris, 1 1 women broke the ban and appeared on the sports ground. After several arguments, the International Olympic Committee finally passed the resolution to allow women to participate in the Olympic Games at the 22nd meeting of 1924. Since then, women's events have become an indispensable part of the Olympic Games, and more and more female athletes have participated in it.
With the development of the Olympic Movement, the International Olympic Committee has formulated many regulations. 19 13, according to Coubertin's idea, the International Olympic Committee designed the Olympic flag with a boundless white background and five interlocking rings in the middle. The colors of the five rings are sky blue, yellow, black, green and red. The five rings symbolize the unity of the five continents, and athletes from all over the world gather in the Olympic Games with fair and frank competition and friendly spirit. 19 14 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the modern Olympic movement, the Olympic flag was used for the first time in the Olympic Games held in Paris. 1920 during the Antwerp Olympic games, the first five-ring flag was raised in the stadium. Since then, the flag handover ceremony and flag-raising ceremony have been held in the opening ceremonies of previous Olympic Games. In order to publicize the Olympic spirit and encourage athletes, Coubertin proposed in 19 13 and was approved by the International Olympic Committee, taking "swifter, higher and stronger" as the Olympic motto. 1908 When the London Olympic Games was held, the Archbishop of Pennsylvania in the United States said in his sermon at the religious ceremony of the Olympic Games held in St. Paul's Cathedral that "it is important to participate in the Olympic Games, not to win". Coubertin appreciated this sentence very much and quoted it many times in the future. Therefore, many people think that this sentence should become an Olympic ideal. Athletes' oath will be implemented from the 7th Olympic Games of 1920. 1968 Olympic Games added the oath of referee. At the 1936 1 1 Olympic Games, the IOC officially stipulated that the Olympic flame symbolizing light, friendship and unity should be lit at the main venue. Since then, this activity has become one of the indispensable ceremonies for the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games. Before the Olympic Games, the torch was lit by the sunlight gathered by concave mirror near the temple of the Greek goddess Hera (the wife of Zeus) in Olympia, and then carried on the torch relay and arrived in the host city the day before the opening of the Olympic Games. At the opening ceremony, the athletes of the host country lit the flame on the tower with the last stick, and the flame went out at the closing ceremony.
