Learn the Olympic spirit and be the best version of yourself

To learn the Olympic spirit, it is necessary to learn the spirit of tenacious struggle and continuous improvement.

The Olympic Games is a world-class sports event that combines the spirit of sportsmanship, national spirit and internationalism, and symbolizes world peace, friendship and unity. This is the embodiment of the Olympic spirit. The Olympic spirit has undergone a historical evolution from challenging oneself and pursuing the harmony and all-round development of human body and mind to pursuing the humanization of sports and competitive play, the pluralistic harmony of human culture, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

In the history of the modern Olympic movement, there was a slogan "always strive for the first, always surpass others". Today, many people of insight believe that it is not enough to simply advocate "talking about righteousness faster, higher, and stronger", and that we must advocate a more humane and united Olympic spirit.

Spiritual connotation

The Olympics are a philosophy of life. "Olympism is a philosophy of life that balances and enhances the physical, mental, and spiritual qualities. ”

The Olympic Games integrate sports with culture and education, so that people's body and mind, spirit and quality can be fully harmonized, so that human potential and virtue can be fully developed, and it is the best and most perfect philosophy of life of mankind so far.

In the women's 10km marathon swim at the Beijing Olympics, South Africa's Natalie Dutoit swam to the finish line in 2:49.9, almost 50 seconds behind Russia's Ilychenko, who won the race, and finished 16th out of 25 runners. It wasn't a great result, but there was no hesitation in giving the South African girl a round of applause because she was a bit special compared to other athletes in that she didn't have a left calf.

There is also Liu Xiang, although everyone does not agree with him, but he has worked hard, kicking the wall with Li when it really doesn't work, trying to paralyze the foot injury, running the whole distance, not disappointing everyone, but the result is not ideal.

On August 15, Tong Wen, who was in the women's 78kg and above judo, and the Japanese player in the final, saw that it was time to lose, and in the last 16 seconds, she simply turned her opponent over! Win this precious gold medal with one book! Not to mention herself, even some of the audience present were in tears with excitement!

Just because of her weight, the coach had to hug her. Otherwise, it will definitely hold her high!

Slogan: One World, One Dream.

The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee believes that this theme slogan deeply reflects the core concept of the Beijing Olympic Games, and embodies the harmonious values contained in the humanistic Olympic Games, which is the core and soul of the three major concepts of "Green Olympics, Science and Technology Olympics, and Humanistic Olympics". Building a harmonious society and achieving harmonious development is our dream and pursuit. "Harmony between man and nature" and "harmony is precious" are the ideals and pursuits of the Chinese people for the harmonious relationship between man and nature and between people since ancient times.

Peaceful progress, harmonious development, harmonious coexistence, win-win cooperation and a harmonious life are the common ideals of the whole world.

The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee interpreted this theme slogan. "One World, One Dream" embodies the essence and universal values of the Olympic spirit – unity, friendship, progress, harmony, participation and dreams – and expresses the common aspiration of the whole world to pursue a better future for mankind under the inspiration of the Olympic spirit.
