The Olympic ring logo, which consists of five Olympic rings, has blue, black, red, yellow, green 5 colors. The meaning of the five rings is symbolic Five continents Athletes from all over the world meet at the Olympic Games in a spirit of justice, frank competition and friendship.
" Olympic charter "Stipulates that, Olympic symbol , Olympic flag , Olympic motto and Olympic anthem The property belongs to International Olympic Committee Proprietary. The IOC may take all appropriate measures to ensure legal protection of the Olympic symbols, flags, mottoes and songs at the national and international levels.
Olympic flag Designed by Pierre de Coubertin himself in 1913, it is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide. It was first raised in 1914 at the Olympic Congress in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the modern Olympic movement. It was officially adopted for the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. The Olympic flag has three rings of blue, black and red, and two rings of yellow and green.
The first hymn was held in 1896 Summer Olympics It was sung for the first time at the opening ceremony, but was not confirmed at the time Olympic anthem . After the 1950s, it was suggested to re-compose a new song as a permanent anthem, but after several attempts, it was not satisfactory. At the 55th Olympic Plenary Session held in Tokyo in 1958, the International Olympic Committee finally decided to use the "Olympic Games". Olympic anthem "(The Anthem of Samaras) as the Olympic anthem. Its sheet music is stored in International Olympic Committee Headquarters .

The Olympic Motto is also called the Olympic Motto Olympic slogan . There is a famous motto of the Olympic movement:" Faster, Higher, Stronger (Citius, Altius, Fortius) ". This motto was used by Coubertin's friend Henri Didon, the abbot of Aquiere in Paris, to encourage his students at an outdoor sports meeting, saying: "Here your slogan is: Faster, higher, stronger."

More united (together) added to the Olympic motto. The Olympic motto has since changed to "Faster, Higher, Stronger - More united". [15]
Coubertin To borrow this phrase from the Olympic movement. He once gave his own understanding of this, which is perhaps the best explanation of the Olympic spirit:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
(" The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but participating; Just as the most important thing in life is not success, but struggle; But the essential thing is not to conquer, but to struggle." )
In 1920, International Olympic Committee "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" was officially recognized as the Olympic motto and was first used at the 1920 Games in Antwerp. Since then, the Olympic motto Latin "Citius, Altius, Fortius" appears in various publications of the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic motto fully expresses the progressive and insatiable striving spirit advocated by the Olympic Movement. Although only six short words, but its meaning is very rich, it not only means in Competitive sports We should not be afraid of strong hands, dare to struggle, dare to win, and encourage people in their own lives and work are not willing to mediocrity, to be energetic, always enterprising, beyond the self, and bring their potential to the limit.

Only three countries took part in the first Ancient Olympic Games The Peloponnese , Easley , Sparta . There was only one event, 192.27 meters Track running .
Ancient Greek It was established in 776 BC that the Olympic Games should be held at Olympia every four years for the sake of peace and respect for the Olympic gods (i.e., Zeus and other gods in ancient Greek mythology). At that time, each city had its own way of counting years, and there was no common era. But the most important event of the year between the city-states was the Great Games of Greece. There are four kinds of games: Olympic Games Games, Pycian Games, Nemean Games and Ismian Games. These four games, led by the Olympic Games, are held in four locations in order, thus forming a four-year cycle called Olympic cycle Olympiad (Olympiad), became the method of counting years between city-states.

in Paris Olympic Games Last week, 11 women broke the ban and appeared on the field. The International Olympic Committee, after several debates, finally adopted the decision to allow women to participate in the Olympic Games at its 22nd session in 1924. Since then, women's events have become an indispensable part of the Olympic Games, and more and more female athletes have participated.
After the success of the first Athens Olympic Games, the Greek side had hoped that Athens As the permanent host of the Olympic Games, it was opposed by the president of the International Olympic Committee, Pierre de Coubertin, who believed that the Olympic Games were the heritage of all mankind and should not belong to Greece alone. In the end, the second Olympic Games went to Coubertin's home country of France.
Of the time Paris It has become a world-famous bustling city, but the Olympic Games have been ignored here. As a result of this Olympic Games World exposition The tournament also lasted from mid-May to October 28, 1900. The competition schedule is very compact, such as fencing in June, athletics and gymnastics in July, swimming in August, can be called a "marathon" type of games. The venues were scattered in different towns, the facilities were very poor, and the poor organization, the lack of publicity and the small audience made the games far less intense and enthusiastic than the first Athens Games. Coubertin, who had intended to use the exposition to promote the Games, was so disappointed that he wrote in his diary: "There is one part of the world that is very indifferent to the Olympics, and that is Paris."
However, the Paris Games also have their own characteristics. On the one hand, Paris has many places of interest and convenient transportation, which is attractive to many competitors. The number of participating countries has increased from 13 to 22, and the number of athletes has increased from 311 to 1,344. It is worth mentioning that a total of 11 female players from France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Bohemia took part Golf ball And tennis, this is the first time female athletes on the Olympic hall, and Charlotte Cooper Charlotte Cooper became the first female Olympic champion (women's singles, male or female) mixed doubles The champion).
In 1904, the third Olympic Games were held in the Mississippi River city St. Louis This is the first time that the Olympic Games have been held outside Europe, which also indicates that the Olympic Games have taken an important step on the road of internationalization. St. Louis win Chicago One of the main reasons for hosting the 3rd Olympic Games World exposition ( The 1900 World's Fair, Paris, France (will be held here. This is also the first time in the history of the Olympic Games in the form of competition to choose the host city. Due to the intersection with the exposition, the competition lasted from July 1 to the end of October, as protracted as the last Olympic Games in Paris, and the Olympic scene was also stolen by the World Exposition. Coubertin was deeply disappointed, and the Olympic Committee decided to choose the site of the Games World Expo Separate so it doesn't happen again.
Only 12 countries participated in the Games, making it the fewest in history. The vast ocean distance and the host country's failure to deliver on a promise to send boats to pick up the Europeans prevented many of them from competing. A total of 629 athletes participated in the games, of which 533 were the United States team, many of the team members were all American, plus the strength of the United States team, took away the vast majority of MEDALS, so some people said that this Olympics is the "Olympics of the United States."
In 1921 Switzerland At the Lausanne Olympic Conference, the Olympic Law was formulated in five parts, including the Olympic Charter, the Statutes of the International Olympic Committee, the Rules and Protocols of the Olympic Games, the General Rules for the holding of the Olympic Games and the Rules of the Olympic Parliament. So far, it has been revised and supplemented many times, but the basic principles and spirit formulated by Coubertin have not changed.
On July 5, 2007, International Olympic Committee in Guatemala City The 119th time Ioc Plenary session Establishment by consent Youth Olympic Games Athletes must be between the ages of 14 and 18. The first Youth Olympic Games were held Singapore Hold. China Nanjing The second Youth Olympic Games was held in 2014. Argentina Buenos Aires The third Youth Olympic Games will be held in 2018.
The IOC Monaco plenary session passed an important resolution on December 8, 2014, in addition to allowing different countries or regions, different cities in the same country to jointly bid for the Olympic Games, the IOC will break the cap on the number of major Olympic Games in the future, allowing the host to independently propose to add one or several minor sports, but need the approval of the IOC to be selected for the Olympic Games.
Allowing more sports would mean that the Olympics would have to break the limit of 28 sports set for the Summer Games and 15 for the Winter Games, but the number of athletes would not be increased, maintaining the current standard of 10,500 for the Summer Games and 2,900 for the Winter Games.
The International Olympic Committee has approved the proposal for the Olympic Channel, which is expected to be launched worldwide in 2015 and broadcast 24 hours a day Olympic Broadcasting Service (OBS) operation. The Olympic Channel will showcase sport - but rather than broadcast the games live, it will tap into a burgeoning interactive market, trying to capture the world's youth. The channel, which will be based in Switzerland and Spain, will be broadcast first over the Internet and then into mainstream broadcast systems, including news, features and major sports events.
By June 2022, 23 countries and 41 cities have hosted the Summer and Winter Olympics, and the "Olympic family" has grown to 206 countries and regions. The Olympic Games has become the most influential sports and cultural event in the world. [16]
2023 On June 23rd, The Paris organizing committee has revealed the route of the torch relay for the 2024 Summer Olympics. [25]
At 19:30 on July 26, 2024, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games was held. [28]

The most chaotic Olympics ever

1900 in Paris, France, the 2nd Olympic Games and The 1900 World's Fair, Paris, France At the same time. In addition to the misscheduling of the event, most of the competitors only learned after the event that they were participating in the Olympic Games and not the Expo, and it is strange that the shooting champion did not even know he was the champion after the event.

The longest Olympic Games

In 1908, the whistle of the 4th Olympic Games held in London, England, was blown as early as April 27 and did not close until October 31, more than six months before and after, which is the longest time of the Olympic Games.

The most wasteful host country

The total cost of the XXI Olympic Games, held in Montreal, Canada, in 1976, was about $1.5 billion. Organizers planned lavish venues that ended up costing the city more than $800 million in deficits, and the stadium wasn't finished when the Games began. The city has had to ask citizens to pay an "Olympic tax" because of soaring costs and an unrealized deficit of more than $800 million. The Montreal Olympics was the most wasteful Olympics ever, and it was also the first Olympics in which citizens paid the Olympic tax. During the 1976 Olympic Games, Canada's federal and provincial governments did not participate in the work, only the city of Montreal really involved, the Olympic organizing committee through the issue of lottery tickets, commemorative coins, television rights sales, sponsorship and other means to raise funds. The organizing committee raised C $430 million, leaving a final revenue balance of C $230 million. [20]

The smallest Olympic Games

The smallest Olympic Games were held in St. Louis, United States, from July 1 to October 29, 1904. Only 625 athletes from 12 countries took part, eight of whom were women. The host team, the United States, accounted for 533. This is because the transportation to the city of St. Louis is inconvenient and expensive, so France and several other European countries did not send people to participate. Even the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Greece and other countries that sent teams sent only a handful of representatives, for a combined total of 39 athletes. As a result of the above reasons, some sports such as boxing, freestyle wrestling, archery, water polo, etc., have become competitions among American players. The Games were the smallest ever for the number of participating countries and participants.

The most expensive Olympic Games

The most was spent in 1980 The Soviet Union Moscow-based The 22nd Olympic Games . It is reported that The Soviet Union The total cost of hosting the Games was $9.2 billion. This is a record number in Olympic history. The Games brought great development to the Fico Stadium. According to statistics, large stadiums have increased from more than 50 to nearly 70, artificial swimming pools have developed from more than 30 to more than 60, and gymnasiums have increased from more than 1,300 to more than 1,600. At the same time, urban buildings were integrated and transportation networks improved.

The country that hosted the most Olympic Games

America It has been held for four times St. Louis 1st session: 3rd session in 1904; Los Angeles Two sessions: the 10th session in 1932, the 23rd session in 1984; Atlanta 1st session: 26th session, 1996.
