After winning the championship, Xian Dongmei waved her hands and let her tears fly in the air.

Rewind time to Athens n centuries ago... Marathon ran back to report the news, exhausted to death... Then in his honor, this long-distance running was launched.

Later, there were more and more sports, so there was a sports meeting, and it slowly developed into the Olympic Games. Because it was held at the foot of Mount Olympus. That's why it's called the Olympiad, get it?

1. The first person in China to participate in the Olympic Games was Liu Changchun, and the time was in 1932.

2. The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, named after the Olympia, after the ancient Olympic Games were suspended for 1,500 years, the French Coubertin put forward the initiative of holding the modern Olympic Games at the end of the 19th century, which was established in 1894 and held the first Olympic Games in 1896, and then held every four years, which was welcomed by all countries as a grand event in the sports world.

The first Chinese appeared on the field of the 10th Olympic Games, and he was Liu Changchun. In 1909, Liu Changchun was born in rural Dalian, he was a child in the mountains to herd cattle, crawling and rolling in the practice of a good skill, Liu Changchun was 20 years old when he was studying at Northeastern University, when Zhang Xueliang held the North China Games in North China, Liu Changchun participated on behalf of the school, the 100-meter race ran out of the second good results, breaking the national record, when the world record of the 100-meter race was seconds. The following year, Liu Changchun participated in the National Games and won three track and field championships in the 100m, 200m and 400m.

In 1932, when the 10th Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, China did not plan to send athletes to participate, but only planned to have the director general of the National Sports Association go to watch the ceremony. Liu Changchun was shocked when he learned of this, and he immediately refused to represent the puppet Manchukuo in the Olympic Games.

4. In the face of Japanese rumors, the Kuomintang finally decided to send Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei as athletes, and Song Junfu as a coach to represent China in the Olympic Games, but Yu Xiwei was censored and detained in China before leaving, so there was only Liu Changchun as a Chinese athlete in the 10th Olympic Games in 1932. Liu Changchun drifted on the Wilson** for 21 days before arriving in Los Angeles, during the day he exercised on deck, and at night because of the strong wind and waves had to endure the test of seasickness, so that he had a poor appetite and ate very little breakfast every day. Disembarked on the 29th, participated in the opening ceremony on the 30th, and the men's 100-meter preliminaries on the 31st, under the tight schedule, Liu Changchun tried his best to run the fifth place in the group, and then participated in the 200-meter preliminaries, and the same as the 100-meter preliminaries, did not enter the finals, but Liu Changchun won a lot of respect.

This person is Liu Changchun. He was a member of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and studied at Northeastern University in 1927, then participated in the 10th Games in 1932, becoming the first Chinese athlete to participate in the Olympic Games, and again in 1936 in the 11th Games.

China's first person to participate in the Olympics was Liu Changchun, who chose to go to the United States to compete in the 10th Los Angeles Olympic Games. As a child born in a poor family, he had a good athletic talent since he was a child, and after continuous training, he went to the United States to participate alone.

Liu Changchun, he was the first person in my country to participate in the 10th Los Angeles Olympic Games in the United States, and when he participated in the Olympic Games, he was the only person in the Chinese sports delegation.
