Greece
Athens
Hold. Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and host of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, tried unsuccessfully to host the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. In particular, for the 26th Summer Olympics in 1996, an ambitious Athens wanted to win the right to host the games in its home country to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the modern Olympic Games, and was confident of winning the bid. But, lo and behold, American
Atlanta
To get out of the way and steal the Olympics. The failure rankled the Greeks. Athens bid for the 2004 Olympic Games for the third time in a row.
The Olympic flame is back home
On 23 September 1994, the city of Athens submitted its application to the Hellenic Olympic Committee to host the 2004 Olympic Games.
On February 14, 1995, the city of Athens officially changed its name to
International Olympic Committee
Submit the 2004 Olympic bid report.
On July 2, 1995, the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Bid Committee was established in Athens.
With the growing popularity of the Olympic movement and the growing commercial interest in hosting the Games, more and more countries have expressed interest in hosting the Games. This year's Olympic bid is no exception, a total of 10 cities around the world submitted formal applications, and the final five cities in addition to Athens, Argentina's capital
Buenos Aires
The legislative capital of South Africa
Cape Town
, capital of Italy
Roman
And the capital of Sweden
Stockholm
.
On September 5, 1997, the 106th plenary session of the International Olympic Committee held in Lausanne, Switzerland, voted that Athens was awarded the right to host the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games have finally returned to their hometown after 108 years
Greece
.
Olympic Memories 2004
Despite winning the right to host the games, Greece's preparations were so slow that in 2000 the International Olympic Committee briefly considered moving the games. Since then, the Greek organizers have accelerated the pace of work, and finally completed the preparatory work on the eve of the start of the games, so that the Olympic Games can proceed smoothly. However, because the swimming venue has no time to build a roof, the afternoon athletes can only withstand the test of the sun and heat. Fortunately, the most important games, such as the semifinals and finals, are scheduled for the evening when the water temperature and temperature are relatively lower, so that athletes can perform at their highest level in the most important games.
The Athens Olympic Games were not only praised for the architecture of some of the venues, but also admired for the advantages that no other city can match. The men's and women's shot put competitions in the track and field events of this Games are
The Ancient Olympia Stadium
It can make people relive the holiness and splendor of the ancient Olympic Games. The Panathinaiko Stadium, which hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, was reconfigured to host the archery and marathon finish stages of the games. It was the venue for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896
Kaleskaki Stadium
After reconstruction, it has become the venue for the current men's and women's football matches. The route of the marathon is exactly the same route that the legendary Greek warrior Philippides ran in 490 BC to deliver the message.
[1]
A total of 11,099 athletes from 201 IOC member associations took part in 28 sports, 37 events and 301 events. Compared with the Sydney Olympic Games, one event in boxing, two events in men's wrestling and women's foil team events have been reduced, and four events in women's wrestling and women's sabre individual events have been added. A total of 21,500 journalists participated in the coverage of the games, including 5,500 photographers/journalists and 16,000 broadcast journalists. A total of 160,000 volunteers were recruited.
Due to the rampant international terrorism, the Athens Olympic Games has further strengthened the security work, the organizing committee has used a total of 45,000 security staff. It involves personnel from the police, army, coast guard, fire brigade, private security guards and specially trained volunteers. Despite tight security, ticket sales for the event have been poor. By the time the tournament officially opened on August 13th, fewer than half of the 5.2 million tickets had been sold. In the first few days of the tournament, there were thousands of empty seats in the stands at many events. But the situation soon improved, especially for the evening track and field events, where the 70,000 capacity stands were filled to capacity. Other venues were also nearly full during the final week of the conference. These questions reflect that people are not afraid of terrorists, they are not afraid of danger and for this Athens of the world, the audience is full of confidence! More hope for their own country's athletes to contribute! Let them feel the strength of the country, as well as the encouragement and support of their fellow citizens!
In 2004, all national and regional Olympic Committees sent sports delegations to Athens, Greece. Since 1996, two more countries (
Kiribati
,
East Timor
The Olympic Committee has been established and will make its debut at the Athens Olympic Games, so the number of countries and regions participating in the Olympic Games has reached a historic 202.

The torch relay before the opening of the Olympic Games set a number of firsts. In order to commemorate the return of the Olympic Games to their hometown, the organizing committee has carefully designed the torch relay route. For the first time, the Olympic torch has traveled to the five continents of the world, and for the first time reached Africa and South America, giving people from all over the world the opportunity to participate in and experience this grand event. The flame travels to all the cities that have hosted the Summer Olympic Games in history, giving these cities the opportunity to once again witness the Olympic flame and once again experience the joy of the Olympic Games. In addition, the torch also reached some cities with special significance, such as the central city of the European Union
Brussels
The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee
Lausanne
And where the next Olympics will be held
Peking
Let's wait. The whole process of the torch relay took 78 days, covering 78,000 kilometers around the world, and covering all the administrative regions and all the cantons of Greece.

Athens 2004 Olympic Games opening ceremony
The games began on August 11, 2004, two days ahead of the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony on August 13 of the same year was splendid, with Greek actors presenting the romance of the Aegean Sea and the civilization of ancient Greece with a poetic and dreamlike performance. And the unique torch lighting ceremony will be the opening ceremony of the warm atmosphere to the climax, lighting the torch is the Greek excellent male windsurfer
Nicolaos Kakramanakis
. After Greek President Kostis Stefanopoulos declared the Games open, swimmer Domiskazi and basketball referee Voriadis took the oath on behalf of athletes and referees, respectively.
The 28th Summer Olympic Games, which returned home for the first time, closed in Athens, the birthplace of the Olympic movement, on the evening of August 29 after witnessing the prosperity of the 100-year Olympic Games and the birth of a new pattern of world sports. At the closing ceremony, President of the International Olympic Committee
Rogge
He spoke highly of the Athens Olympic Games. As a small country, Greece invested more than 7 billion euros to host the Olympic Games, which ensured the smooth running of the Games and made useful exploration in running the Games in a thrifty way. The Athens Olympics was also the first summer Olympics held after the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the investment in security alone reached 1.2 billion euros. The Greek Government has done a great deal of effective work to ensure the safety and success of the Games. Rogge declared the Games closed and the flame was slowly extinguished. The host wished the guests a good journey.

The emblem of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games features a white branch based on the olive branch presented to champions at the ancient Games. The olive tree is also the city tree of Athens. The blue background and white olive branches highlight the Hellenistic architecture - the white marble building with the blue Aegean Sea. Blue and white are also the colors of the current Greek national flag, which was created during the Greek Revolution in 1821.

Since the
1928 Amsterdam Olympics
For the first time since then, the design of the obverse has been modified to reflect Greek features. From now on, all Olympic MEDALS will reflect the Greek character, because it is the origin and revival of the Olympic Games. From the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics to the 2000 Sydney Games, the MEDALS awarded to athletes were engraved with the statue of the goddess of victory. And since the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Niki on the medal has stood up, put on wings, and flown to the stadium to bring victory to the best athletes. The committee chose the Pannacinaco Stadium, the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. The back of the medal has three elements: the flame, which was lit in Olympia and crossed five continents during the 2004 torch relay; The first lines of the Ode to Olympia written by the ancient Greek poet Pindar in 460 BC. The medal was designed by Elena Waters.

The slogan of these Games is "Welcome Home", which not only contains the most sincere and warm welcome of the Athens Olympic Games to all members of the global Olympic family, but also fully expresses the joy and pride of Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, at the return of the Olympic Games to its home.
[3]
the theme song for the Athens Olympic Games is "pass the flame", which is the designated song for the Olympic torch relay. Composed by trevor horn and lol creme and performed by yiannis kotsiras in English and Greek, the song demonstrates the global significance of the Olympic Torch Relay and embodies the purpose of "Carrying the flame to bring the world together".
"PasstheFlame" lyrics appreciate
Unite the World
It's time to celebrate let our voices be heard
Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Bring us all together
We can grow a forest
On a dried up riverbed
We can build a mountain
From a grain sand
Reach out, hold out your hands (x2)
Pass the Flame
Unite the World
It's time to celebrate let our voices be heard
Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Bring us all together
Pass the Flame
Unite the World (x5)
Reach out, hold out your hands (x2)
Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Pass the Flame
Unite the World (x5)
The track and field events at these Games did not feature any of the superstars of the past who won multiple MEDALS. The athletes who won the most gold MEDALS also won only two, and they were British
Kelly Holmes
(women's 800m, 1500m) and Moroccan
Hicham El Queroy
(Men's 1500 m, 5000 m). An American sprinter who won five MEDALS at the 2000 Sydney Olympics
Marion Jones
This time in the individual event, only one long jump entered the final, but also only won the fifth place. She also competed in the women's 4×100 meter relay, but the U.S. team was disqualified due to a rudimentary baton handover error. She was under investigation on suspicion of taking a banned substance until just before the Games began, leading some athletes to believe she should not even compete.
The United States and Russia were the biggest winners in track and field at the games, with eight and six gold MEDALS respectively. The United States has won most of its gold MEDALS in men's and sprint events. In the high-profile men's 100-meter race, all three finalists from the United States finished in the top four, all under 9.90 seconds, with the winner
Justin Gatlin
The time was 9.85 seconds. For the first time in a 100-meter final at an Olympic Games, five of the eight runners ran under 10 seconds and the top four all ran under 9.90 seconds. In recent years, international athletics has been plagued by doping scandals, such a high-level 100-meter competition is quite bright.
In contrast, the majority of Russia's track and field gold MEDALS came from women's and field events, with women winning as many as five gold MEDALS.
Yelena Isinbayeva
And Svetlana Feofanova swept the gold and silver MEDALS in the women's pole vault. Tajiana Lebedeva won not only the gold medal in her main event, the women's long jump, but also the bronze medal in the triple jump.
A 36-year veteran of Poland
Robert Kozeniowski
Continuing the legend, he won the men's 50 km race walk for the third consecutive time. Before him, no one in Olympic history had even won the event twice in a row. Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic won his country's first ever Olympic gold medal with victory in the men's 400m hurdles. His victory was greeted with jubilation throughout the Dominican Republic. Tonik Williams-Darling of the Bahamas beat Ena Guevara of Mexico in the women's 400 meters to claim her country's first individual title at the Olympics. Also in track and field, Cameroonian athletes achieved a breakthrough when Francois Etonet-Mbongo won the women's triple jump, becoming not only the first Cameroonian woman to win an Olympic gold medal, but also the first for her country in an individual event.
The biggest star of the Games was American swimmer Michael Phelps, who won six gold MEDALS and two bronze MEDALS. If the 19-year-old can win four more MEDALS at the 2008 Games, he will become the most decorated swimmer in Olympic history. Another American swimmer, Natalie Coughlin, is the most decorated female athlete with five MEDALS, two of them gold.
The swimming competition was a repeat of the 2000 Games in which the United States and Australia took 60 percent of all 32 individual gold MEDALS, winning 12 and seven respectively.
A leading figure in Australian swimming
Ian Thorpe
This year, he not only defended the men's 400m freestyle title, but also won the 200m freestyle title. Japonic
Kosuke Kitajima
Last time in the men's 100 and 200 meters breaststroke, twice defeated the world record holder Brendan Hansen of the United States, swept the gold MEDALS of these two events, becoming a well-deserved world "breaststroke king".
African athletes also rose to prominence in the swimming competition, the South African team in the men's 4×100 meters freestyle relay race broke the surprise, beating the Netherlands, the United States and other strong teams, won the first African history of men's swimming Olympic gold medal. Kirsty Coventree of Zimbabwe won the women's 100m backstroke, which was not only the first Olympic gold medal won by a Zimbabwean athlete since the 1980 Moscow Games, but also the country's first Olympic swimming medal and first individual gold medal in history.
The diving competition is still dominated by China, after winning five gold MEDALS in all eight events last time, the Chinese divers have expanded their success, increasing the number of gold MEDALS to six. Both synchronised swimming titles were lost to Russian women. Hungary and Italy also won the men's and women's water polo titles, respectively.
German female kayakers
Birgit Fischer
She continued to improve her position on the all-time list of individual Olympic MEDALS, winning one gold and one silver to bring her total Olympic MEDALS to 12, including eight golds. She won her first Olympic gold medal in 1980 at the age of 18, becoming the youngest woman ever to win an Olympic gold medal in kayaking. Her victory in the women's quad made her the first female athlete to win an Olympic medal after 24 years.
In water sports such as rowing, canoeing and windsurfing, European countries continued to have a clear advantage, winning 35 of the 41 gold MEDALS, all but six won by Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Brazil and China.
As in Sydney in 2000, China was again the biggest winner in shooting with four gold MEDALS, while Russia also won three events. The United States and Germany won two titles each. Three of China's four titles came against the other two sports powers, Russia and the United States.
The United States sent the "Dream Team" composed mainly of NBA players for the fourth consecutive time to participate in the Olympic men's basketball competition, but the hastily assembled team lacked fighting spirit and tacit understanding between the players, and the team's results fell to the lowest point since the "Dream team" participated in the four Olympic Games. They lost three games and finished with a bronze medal.
The winner of the men's basketball game was Argentina. At the 2002 World Championship, Argentina became the first team in the world to defeat the American men's basketball "Dream Team" composed of NBA players. Once again in this Olympic Games, he won a well-deserved championship against the United States in the semifinals.
Before the men's basketball final, Argentina also won the men's soccer championship. It was also their first Olympic medal in a team event since 1952. In the men's football competition, the most noteworthy team is Iraq, the representative of the Asian region. This team, which was formed and trained in a war-torn environment, despite the lack of good training and competition conditions before the game, still stood out from the Asian qualifiers, and performed well in the final stage of the competition in Athens, breaking into the semifinals with excellent results to comfort the suffering compatriots at home.
While Argentina won the men's soccer and basketball championships, the United States won the women's championships in both events. The U.S. women's soccer team has reached the finals three times in a row since the Olympic Games began in 1996.
Teams from the Americas dominated the three major events of the Games, with Argentina and the United States taking all four gold MEDALS in football and basketball. Brazil also easily won the men's volleyball title. The only one left out of the three was women's volleyball, which was taken by the Chinese team. China's victory also ended the monopoly of Cuba, another strong team in the Americas, on the event for three consecutive Olympic Games.
Europeans dominated handball, with Croatia and Denmark winning the men's and women's titles respectively. In equestrian events, Europeans also won all six titles. In addition, in fencing, Europe's traditional strength, the Europeans also played steadily, taking away nine of the 10 gold MEDALS. Only the women's sabre individual has been won by an American.
Asian players defended their position as world leaders in table tennis and badminton. All nine gold MEDALS in the two events were taken by Asia, including
China
Only won 6 gold. The other three gold MEDALS were
Korea
(2 pieces) and
Indonesia
Take (1).
The gymnastics competition this year showed a completely different pattern from the past, the two traditional powers of the world gymnastics China and Russia unexpectedly lost, Russia did not win a gold medal, China also won only one gold medal in a single event. The loss of the Russian team is certainly caused by the unfair scoring of the referee, but the more important thing is due to the aging of the team. Fortunately, they still had an unshakable advantage in the subsequent artistic gymnastics competition, and swept the two team and individual championships.
Asian and European weightlifters each dominated the weightlifting competition, with eight gold MEDALS for Asia and seven for Europe. China dominated the weightlifting events with five gold and three silver MEDALS. Cuba, the traditional powerhouse of amateur boxing, showed its strength again, winning six gold MEDALS in 11 boxing classes. Wrestling was also largely a Eurasian rivalry, with European wrestlers winning half of the gold MEDALS in all 18 events. Russia won five gold MEDALS alone. Taekwondo, which originated in Asia, is still dominated by Asians, with seven of the eight titles won by Asian players, including four gold MEDALS won by players from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Japan dominated judo, its national sport, winning eight gold MEDALS in 14 events for both men and women. Their 10 gold MEDALS in the two major sports of judo and wrestling laid a solid foundation for the delegation to finish fifth in the medal table with 16 gold MEDALS.
Several delegations have written new chapters in their sports at these Games. Israeli windsurfer Gal Freedman won the men's metre board event, giving Israel its first Olympic gold medal in 52 years. Israel's Middle Eastern neighbor, the United Arab Emirates, also won its first Olympic gold medal at the Games. Sharpshooter Ahmed Almaktoum, 40, easily won the men's double trap shooting event with a solid performance. Fernando Gonzalez and Nicolas Massu teamed up to win the men's doubles tennis event for Chile, giving the country its first Olympic gold medal. Subsequently, Masu made good efforts in the men's singles competition and presented the second gold medal for the motherland.
But the Games have also seen some problems in competition, such as athletes taking illegal drugs and referees enforcing the law. One of the biggest controversies involving the judges was in gymnastics, where the men's all-around gold medal that should have gone to South Korean Yang Tae-young was mistakenly awarded to Paul Hamm of the United States due to a referee's error in scoring. Although the three referees involved have been temporarily suspended, the result of the match cannot be changed. South Korea appealed the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the arbitration court ultimately ruled that the result was valid at the time, and Paul Hamm was able to keep the lucky gold medal.
Prior to this event,
International Court of Arbitration for Sport
Has waded into the controversy at the Games. In the three-day equestrian event, the judges ruled that Germany's Bettina Hoy had committed a foul at the start, stripping not only her individual gold medal, but also the team gold she helped Germany win. The decision was later overturned, and Hoy and the German team returned to gold. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport concluded that the original decision declaring Hoy guilty was correct. As a result, Hoy and the German team finished fourth in the individual and team events respectively. Britain's Lesley Law and the French team became the beneficiaries of the incident after a series of twists and turns, winning the individual and team gold MEDALS respectively.
In addition, there have been some accidents in the event security. In the final event of the conference, the men's marathon, the Brazilian runner Vandre de Lima, who had been leading all the way, was suddenly attacked with only six kilometers to go before the finish line, and an unemployed Irish priest with a long history of disrupting sports competitions suddenly rushed into the track from the spectators, grabbed him and pushed him into the crowd on the roadside. Although the troublemaker was quickly subdued and De Lima quickly returned to the game, his form had suffered. In the final stage of the game, he looked back nervously from time to time in case of accidents, which seriously affected the play of personal technical level. The result was quickly surpassed by two other opponents, and eventually only won the bronze medal. The Brazilian Athletics Federation later called for a replacement gold medal for de Lima, allowing him to enjoy the honor of joint champion, but the request was rejected. The incident has also been taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In a highly competitive Olympics, the United States finished first with 35 gold, 39 silver and 29 bronze MEDALS for a total of 103 MEDALS. China, which has been on the rise in recent Olympic Games, finished second with 32 gold, 17 silver and 14 bronze MEDALS for a total of 63. Russia, another world sports power that has been competing with the United States in recent Olympics, finished third with 27 gold, 27 silver and 38 bronze MEDALS for a total of 92.
China, the host country of the 2008 Olympic Games, sent a delegation of 407 athletes (269 women and 138 men) to participate in all 26 sports except baseball and equestrian, achieving unprecedented success. With 32 gold MEDALS and a total of 63 MEDALS, it won the second place in the medal table (including the third place in the total number of MEDALS), and the number of gold MEDALS and the total number of MEDALS set the highest record in a single session since China participated in the Olympic Games, surpassing the historical best results created in the Sydney Olympic Games four years ago. And the number of gold MEDALS also reached a record high, with the number of events winning gold MEDALS increasing to 13.
The Chinese delegation got off to its best start since participating in the Olympic Games, winning four gold MEDALS on the first day after the opening ceremony, giving the entire delegation a good start.
Du Li
She won the first gold medal in the women's 10-meter air rifle shooting event. This is also the first gold medal won by a Chinese athlete since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Followed by veterans who have participated in every Summer Olympics since 1984
Wang Yifu
He won the men's 10-meter air pistol shooting competition again. At 44, he also became the oldest Chinese athlete to win an Olympic title and the first Chinese athlete to win an Olympic title after a gap of 12 years. The two gold MEDALS of the shooting team not only enabled China to win a record four gold MEDALS in the single Olympic Games, but also the two titles were won by Du Li and Wang Yifu from the hands of Russian players, which played a crucial role in the total number of gold MEDALS for the Chinese delegation to eventually beat Russia.
Diving is China in the Olympic Games in the total number of gold MEDALS, this year China won the most gold MEDALS is still this project, achieved 6 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze good results, once again defended the diving "dream team" honor. Particularly encouraging is the fact that five of the eight gold medalists are newcomers to the Olympics for the first time, indicating the great potential for China to continue its dominance in diving.
Weightlifting is another major advantage for China after diving in the total number of gold MEDALS in previous Olympic Games, and this year is no different. China won a total of 8 MEDALS, 5 gold and 3 silver MEDALS, the number of gold MEDALS equaled the history of the previous session, and the total number of MEDALS exceeded the previous session. The talented Chinese women's team sent a completely different lineup from the last one, but the strength is still strong, and won 3 gold and 1 silver in the four events registered.
Although China's other two traditional strengths of table tennis and badminton have suffered strong impact from other delegations, they still won three gold MEDALS each, continuing to maintain their leading position. In the women's table tennis event, China also has certain advantages, among which
Zhang Yining
The victory in the women's singles also brought the total number of gold MEDALS won by the Chinese delegation sent by the Chinese Olympic Committee to 100 at the previous Summer Games. But in the men's event, there is no advantage to speak of, especially the men's singles final defeat also cost China its first table tennis gold medal since 1996 in the last three Olympic Games.
In men's singles and doubles badminton, the world's top teams remain fiercely competitive, with the result that just three months ago, China's men won the world's highest honor in the men's team event, the Thomas Cup, suffered a setback in the two previously dominant events.
Track and field has always been the most important, the most concerned and the most gold medal in every Summer Olympic Games, and Chinese athletes have achieved unprecedented good results in track and field in this Olympic Games. Liu Xiang, the men's 110m hurdler, not only tied the 11-year-old world record, broke the Olympic record and set a number of firsts with a perfect run in the final. He not only won the first Olympic gold medal of men's track and field event for China, but also became the first Asian to win the Olympic men's track and field sprint title, and the first yellow race to win the Olympic sprint title.

Rowing, canoeing and windsurfing are also among the most decorated sports in the Olympics. China also made good progress in all three events this time, with Meng Guanliang and Yang Wenjun winning the 500-meter canoeing tandem against the rest of the pack. This is not only China's first Olympic medal in canoeing, but also the first gold medal in water sports at the Olympics.

Breaking the surprise, not only all the way through, one after another to rewrite the history of Chinese tennis, but also beat all the opponents and won the championship. This is not only the first time for a Chinese tennis player to win a championship in a world-class event, but also the first time for an Asian athlete to win a tennis championship at the Olympic Games, achieving a major breakthrough in Chinese tennis.
Diver Guo Jingjing and table tennis player Zhang Yining each won two gold MEDALS at the Games. Divers Wu Minxia and Lao Lishi and badminton player Gao Ling won one gold and one silver each. Diver Tian Liang won one gold and one bronze. The six are the most decorated athletes from the Chinese delegation at the Games. Tian Liang and Gao joined badminton player Zhang Jun, table tennis player Wang Nan and taekwondo athlete Chen Zhong as part of a strong, albeit disappointing, performance for the Chinese team, which posted a historic victory in all three medal categories: track and field, swimming and water. Among them, the men's short distance hurdling event in track and field has achieved a leap breakthrough. All these have started a prelude battle for greater and more comprehensive breakthroughs in these three major items in the future; The number of gold MEDALS won in diving, shooting and weightlifting, as well as in track and field, which were traditionally strong, reached the highest in history, and shooting also made great progress in several individual events which were previously weak. Tennis, wrestling and canoeing won Olympic gold MEDALS for the first time, and canoeing made a breakthrough by reaching the final of six events. Women's volleyball returns to the top after 20 years; Although the fencing event did not win the gold medal, the number of MEDALS and the winning surface have increased compared with the previous session; Cycling won a silver medal for the first time in history; Boxing and trampolining both won MEDALS for the first time. Archery and sailing both regained their MEDALS. Although women's hockey failed to achieve the goal of winning MEDALS set before the game, it also achieved the best fourth place in history.
In contrast to the above progress, some traditional strengths have been strongly challenged in this competition, especially gymnastics, badminton, table tennis and women's soccer and other sports are most obvious. How to cope with the challenges of the world teams and continue to maintain the world's leading position in these advantageous events is an important issue for the Chinese sports community, the host of the Olympic Games in four years.
Due to the impact of China, Australia and Japan and other countries, the previous pattern of the world's three powers dominating the United States, Russia and Germany has changed significantly in this year. Although before the Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation has maintained a low profile, the goal is only to fight for the front of the second group, but through the competition on the field, the last has entered the number of gold MEDALS and the number of MEDALS in the top three ranks of China this year and further, not only more than the past three strong Russia and Germany, but also strides to approach the world's first sports power the United States.

In the team final, Hungarian referee Hidasi's misjudgment again and again made the Chinese three musketry players and nearly got the gold medal. Although the black-hearted referee, Hidasi, was sent home at the time, Chinese sword fans still won't forgive him. In this final, the Chinese swordsmen played well from the beginning, and the Italians had only the success of the defense, but the Hungarian fencing referee Hidasi repeatedly awarded the Italian points in the case of both sides and even the Chinese players hit their opponents first, resulting in the reversal of the situation on the court. The referees' committee couldn't stand his behavior and replaced him after only one quarter of the game. The International Sword Federation issued a statement after the match, admitting that at least six swords had been misjudged in the final, calling it a disgrace in the history of fencing, and expelled Hidarsi.

One man won gold MEDALS in men's 200 meters and 400 meters medley and men's 100 meters and 200 meters butterfly, which has tied Spitz's record of winning four individual events in a single Olympic Games in 1972. In addition, Phelps also won gold MEDALS in the men's 4×200 m freestyle relay and the men's 4×100 m medley relay (although Phelps gave up his place in the final to teammate Crocker, he could still take his sixth gold medal of the Games from this victory, as he had completed the previous trials). He won six gold MEDALS in a single Olympics, just shy of the record of seven held by his American predecessor, Sebastian Spitz. In addition to the gold medal, Phelps also won two bronze MEDALS in the men's 200 meter freestyle and the men's 4×100 meter freestyle relay. In doing so, Phelps tied another Olympic record of eight MEDALS in a single Games, which was set by former Soviet gymnast Dityattin at the 1980 Moscow Games.

But after the success of Athens, he is the latest embodiment of the American dream come true, and his young, handsome and youthful image has made him popular in the United States and the world's new idol. Now he only worries about how they will choose among the many business contracts that are piling up. According to business experts, Phelps will earn at least tens of millions of dollars directly after the Athens Olympics, and Phelps has the potential to become the richest American swimmer in history.

On August 27, it made the biggest surprise to the Chinese field and the world field. Greased lightning? Fast and furious? ... At this time to use these words to describe seem so weak, all the time, there has never been a gold medal to make us so happy! From the start to the finish, when other runners were looking for the rhythm of the hurdles, we saw Liu Xiang's very in tune running the hurdles, winning is so relieved! We can imagine that the whole process will be playing in our brain for a long time! Li Chengpeng said it well: It is possible to use any degree of exaggeration to compare how great Liu Xiang is, which is equivalent to 10,000 silver MEDALS of Chinese men's football Asian Cup!

There are several titles on the head: the richest man in Chinese sports, the little giant in the East... Yao Ming, who is not handsome but has a strong personality, has naturally become the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation at the Olympic Games. Although the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Spain, Argentina and Italy in the group stage of the Athens Olympic Games, it miraculously won the top 8 with a narrow victory over the strong Serbia and Montenegro by 1 point, and all of this can not be separated from Yao Ming's excellent play. And although the Chinese men's basketball team lost again in the match against Lithuania, Yao Ming won praise again, and the European and American media praised him for playing a dominant level in this game. It can be said that the combination of patriotism, responsibility, blood, rationality and wisdom in one Yao Ming, deserved to become the most popular star in the Chinese sports world.
