What are the conditions for the Olympic Games to accept new events?
Events are divided into sports, disciplines and events. According to the Olympic Charter, only Olympic sports can be included in Olympic events. It is also stipulated that sports and sports disciplines must have a recognized international foundation before they can be included in the Summer Olympics, and sports widely carried out among men in at least 75 countries and four continents and among women in at least 40 countries and three continents can be included in the Summer Olympics. If sports are included in the Summer Olympic Games, they must also have a recognized international foundation, with men from at least 50 countries and 3 continents and women from at least 35 countries and 3 continents participating, and be included in the Summer Olympic Games at least twice by world championships or continent championships.
How is the host city of the Olympic Games determined?
According to the Olympic Charter, only the International Olympic Committee has the right to decide the host city of the Olympic Games. The specific method is in accordance with the provisions of the Olympic Charter. At the plenary session of the International Olympic Committee held seven years before the Olympic Games, all members voted in secret.
In order to ensure sufficient preparation time for the Olympic Games, the city that wants to host the Olympic Games must submit a written application to the International Olympic Committee eight years before the Olympic Games. The bid cities will be evaluated and determined by the IOC and relevant IFs. The official vote to determine the host city was decided by all members by secret ballot at the plenary session of the International Olympic Committee held seven years before the Olympic Games. In the voting, if a bidding city gets more than half of the votes, it will be determined as the host city; In the case of several cities competing for the right to host, the city with the least votes in each round of voting was eliminated by means of multiple rounds of voting. If the votes of two cities are the same, an extra vote will be held specifically for these two cities to eliminate one.
1999 after the salt lake city scandal, the IOC reformed the bidding procedure, among which the most important two points are:
First, increase the steps of whether to accept the bid, and eliminate cities that lack the basic conditions for hosting the Olympic Games from the beginning.
2. IOC members are not allowed to visit and inspect the bidding city, and the representatives of the bidding city are not allowed to visit IOC members.
What are the rules of the International Olympic Committee for athletes?
Chapter 5 of the Olympic Charter clearly stipulates that athletes must be qualified to participate in the Olympic Games before they can sign up for the competition.
To participate in the Olympic Games, an athlete must first meet the following basic requirements: the national Olympic Committee to which the athlete belongs must be a member of the International Olympic Committee, and must abide by the Constitution of the International Olympic Committee and the rules of international individual sports organizations approved by the International Olympic Committee. In addition, there are some restrictions on some sports. For example, FIFA has special regulations on the age of athletes participating in the Olympic Games. Only five players in each team can be over 23 years old. For another example, according to the nationality regulations, athletes participating in the Olympic Games must be nationals of the country in which they are elected to the National Olympic Committee.
The Olympic Charter once had strict regulations on the amateur status of athletes, but after the reform in the 1980s, this restriction was abolished. As long as they are members of sports organizations recognized by the International Olympic Committee, excellent athletes all over the world can participate in the Olympic Games.
When did the Olympic mascot appear?
Olympic mascots first appeared in the 10 Winter Olympic Games held in Grenoble, France in 1968.
The mascot of this Winter Olympics is a skating bear wearing three colors of the French flag. Its slender and sturdy body bears an artistic exaggerated head, dressed like "Schuss" (originally meaning high-speed skiing), which symbolizes the strong will of athletes.
The mascot was first adopted at the 20th Munich Olympic Games in Germany in 1972. This little hound named "Valdi" enlivened the atmosphere of the whole game. Since then, the host countries of the Olympic Games have followed suit and chosen their favorite rare animals as the mascots of this Olympic Games through artistic processing. In this way, the host country wishes the Olympic Games a complete success and the athletes get the best results.
What is the symbol of the Olympic Games?
1965438+In June 2004, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the modern Olympic Movement, Coubertin personally designed the five-ring flag with a white background. With the development of the Olympic Movement, the five-ring symbol has been identified as the Olympic symbol by the Olympic Charter.
The Olympic symbol consists of five Olympic rings connected from left to right. It can be monochrome, or it can be blue, yellow, black, green and red. These five colors were originally used to represent the national flags of members of the National Olympic Committee at that time. With the continuous development of the Olympic Movement, the five rings have been given a deeper meaning. Today, it not only represents the unity and friendship of athletes from five continents under the Olympic flag, but also emphasizes that all athletes should meet in a fair and frank sportsmanship.
What are the rules for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?
