The founder of the Olympic Games is: Coubertin.

Baron de Coubertin Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937).

Biography: 1863-1937 Born in France, died in Geneva.

1894-1925 Member of the International Olympic Committee.

1896-1925 Second President of the International Olympic Committee.

Major achievements: founder of the modern Olympic movement, historian, educator, dedicated to literary and artistic activities, Coubertin was born on January 1, 1863 in Paris into an aristocratic family, well educated. In 1894, with his active efforts and various fundraising, he convened the Paris International Sports Conference, which promoted the establishment of the International Olympic Committee. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, he published his famous poem "Ode to Sports", and wrote "Experiments in Sports Psychology" (1913) and "Pedagogy of Competitive Sports" (1919).

He died in Geneva on 2 September 1937, and his body was buried in Lausanne, the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee, and his heart was buried in Olympic Asia, the birthplace of the Olympic Movement.

Strictly speaking, his major is not sports, because he recognized the importance of sports and the status of sports in education, he set up the ambition of education to save the country and sports to save 2, and was determined to make unremitting efforts for the revival of the Olympic movement and strive for its development for life.

Coubertin faced many difficulties in reviving the Olympic movement, but his determination to develop sports never wavered. He was persevering and tenacious. In 1896, the first Olympic Games were almost aborted due to financial difficulties, and he went to Athens in person to meet with the prime minister and the crown prince.

The second Paris Olympic Games and the World Expo were held at the same time, and there was a contradiction between the two. Coubertin was forced to resign, and was ridiculed and scolded from time to time, but he endured humiliation and never became discouraged. He began the work of reviving the Olympic Games in 1883 at the age of 20 and worked for the Olympic Movement for 54 years until his death on September 2, 1937.

Regardless of his family's unhappiness and difficulties, he personally handled all the details: documents, publicity, design patterns, ......, he ran around to contact all parties, made friends to win support, worked hard, and worked hard. His exploits are immortal.

Coubertin was principled, insisting that the Olympics belonged to the world and should be held in different cities around the world, while the Greeks believed that the Olympics belonged to Greece and that Athens should be the permanent host of the Games. It is Coubertin's insistence on principles that has made the Olympic Games as brilliant as they are today. Coubertin's unswerving adherence to the principles of peace, friendship and progress, the fight against discrimination, the principle of equality, the integration of the Olympic Games with cultural education, the harmonious development of human beings, and the system of reverse representation have been written into the Olympic Charter with remarkable results.

The ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC.

The modern Olympics began in 1896.

The Olympics began in 1896.

In 1896, Athens, Greece, hosted the first modern Olympic Games, with 245 athletes from 14 countries participating.

From the ancient Olympic Games to today, the Olympic Games have gone through several centuries, and no matter how things have changed, no matter how the host country has changed, no matter the athletes and other factors, the Olympic spirit has never changed.

Citius, Altius, Fortius" will always be the belief of every contestant and even all mankind. It is "faster, higher, stronger, and today the Olympic purpose, Olympism and the Olympic spirit are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

The best ever

1. The most chaotic Olympics.

In 1900 in Paris, France, the 2nd Olympic Games were held at the same time as the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition in France. In addition to the misarrangement of the games, most of the competitors did not know until after the competition that they were participating in the Olympics and not the expo, and strangely enough, the shooting champion did not even know that he was the champion after the competition.

2. The longest Olympic Games.

The whistle of the 4th Olympic Games held in London, England in 1908 was blown as early as April 27 and did not end until October 31, which was the longest time in the history of the Olympic Games for more than six months.

3. The most wasteful host country.

The total cost of the 21st Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada, in 1976, was about $1.5 billion. The extravagant stadium planned by the organizers eventually cost the city more than $800 million, and the stadium was still unfinished when the Games opened. Due to the soaring construction cost and excessive expenditure, the original plan has not yet been realized, which has caused more than 800 million US dollars to be spent, and the city has to let the citizens pay the "Olympic tax".

The Montreal Olympics were the most wasteful of the Games, and it was also the first Olympics in which citizens paid the "Olympic tax".

The revival of the Olympic Games began in 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games were held in Jabin, Greece.

The modern Olympic Games is a modern social and cultural phenomenon constructed in the name of "restoring the burial of the ancient Olympic Games", which follows the name of the "Olympic Games", inherits the tradition of the "Olympiad" every four years, borrows and develops certain rituals, and absorbs the ancient traditional ideas of fair competition, courageous struggle, and harmonious development of body and mind. However, the modern Olympic Games are not a continuation and reproduction of the ancient Olympic Games, they are a new social and cultural phenomenon produced in a new context, and there are essential differences between them.

The Renaissance of the 15th century led many Europeans to re-celebrate the Olympic spirit. Matteo Palmiria of Italy.

The modern Olympic Games began in 1894. The modern Olympic Games is a modern social and cultural phenomenon constructed in the name of restoring the ancient Olympic Games, which follows the name of the Olympic movement, inherits the tradition of the Olympiad every four years, borrows and develops certain rituals, and absorbs the ancient traditional ideas of fair competition, courageous struggle, and harmonious development of body and mind.

In 1883, Coubertin proposed for the first time a competition similar to the ancient Olympic Games, which was not a simple inheritance, but an expansion of the games that had been limited to Greeks to the world. Despite some opposition to Coubertin's proposal, his tireless efforts led to the convening of the First International Conference on the Reconstruction of the International Olympic Games at the University of Paris, France, on June 16, 1894, when 20 countries were represented. It was decided that the first modern Olympic Games would be held in Athens, the capital of Greece, in 1896.

The Greeks showed great enthusiasm for the Games, with 80,000 spectators attending the Opening Ceremony, a figure that was not surpassed until the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Since then, the Olympic Games have become a world sports event.

Under the guidance of Olympism, the Olympic Movement is an international social movement that promotes the all-round development of human physiological, psychological and social morality, communicates mutual understanding between the peoples of all countries, popularizes Olympism throughout the world, and maintains world peace with sports and the Olympic Games, the quadrennial Olympic celebration, as the main activities. The Olympic movement includes an ideological system with Olympism as the core, an organizational system with the International Olympic Committee, the International Federations and National Olympic Committees as the backbone, and an activity system with the Olympic Games as the cycle.

The ancient Olympics began in 776 BC and the modern Olympics in 1896. From 776 B.C. to 394 A.D., the ancient Olympic Games were held in 1,168 years and 292 times. Athens, Greece hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the first Winter Olympics in 1924, and the first Paralympic Games in 1960.

The Olympic Games generally refer to the Hongjingchang Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and was named after the Olympia.

After the ancient Olympic Games were suspended for 1,500 years, the Frenchman Coubertin proposed the modern Olympic Games at the end of the 19th century and established the Olympic Committee in 1894.

The modern Olympic Games are held every four years and last no more than 16 days, making it the most influential sports event in the world.
