The IOC Executive Board decided in Prague on the afternoon of 29 August that the 2008 Olympic Games will be held from 8 to 24 August two weeks later than originally scheduled.
IOC Executive Director Ferry announced the decision at a press conference on the same day. Explaining the reason for the postponement, he said that in the past, the bidding cities had proposed the date for the Olympic Games and then the IOC approved them, but later, the IOC decided that it was most appropriate to hold the Summer Olympics from the end of July to the beginning of August, and that the 2008 Olympic Games had been specified in advance when the bidding for the 2008 Olympic Games began. However, during this period, the temperature in Beijing is high, and many people are worried that the athletes' competition status will be affected.
At the time of its bid, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee said that this was not the best date for the Beijing Olympics. When the IOC Coordination Committee and the Beijing Organising Committee met, the first question raised by the Beijing Organising Committee was whether the date of the Games could be reconsidered. After consultations, the IOC decided to postpone the event by two weeks, taking into account the weather and other factors.
Wang Wei, vice chairman of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, welcomed the IOC's decision on the same day.

The first ancient Olympic Games were held in 776 BC and by 394 AD there were 293 editions. The Games are held every 1,417 days, i.e. every four years. This cycle was later referred to as the Olympic cycle.
With the rise of modern sports, the Greek people wanted to restore the ancient Olympic Games. In 1859 and 1889, Greece hosted 4 Olympic Games, making initial attempts. Since 1883, the Frenchman Coubertin has devoted himself to the revival of the ancient Olympic Games.
Through his efforts and several generations, the International Olympic Committee was established on 23 June 1894. The first Olympic Charter, drawn up by Coubertin, emphasized the amateur nature of the Olympic Movement, stipulating that only honorable mentions should be awarded to the winners of the Olympic Games, and that no monetary or other material awards should be given to athletes in any form. On April 6 15, 1896, the first Olympiad was held in Athens.
