How much do you know about the Olympics, how much do you know about the Olympics?

Beijing will host the Olympics in 2008, I hope it can help you, hehe.

Joke.

In 1994. When Beijing and Sydney competed for the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games. Beijing, China, is just one vote away. The result was lost to Sydney.

The first Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1986.

How much do you know about the Olympics, but you don't know about spring sleep.

The most widely circulated story about the origins of the ancient Olympics is the story of Pelops' marriage. In order to choose a horse for his daughter, the king of Elis, in ancient Greece, proposed that the candidate must race with him in a chariot. In the game, 13 young men died under the king's spear, and the 14th young man was Pelops, the grandson of Zeus and the heart of the princess.

Inspired by love, he bravely accepted the king's challenge and finally outwitted him. To celebrate this victory, Pelops and the princess held a grand wedding in front of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, at which chariots, gladiatorial fights and other competitions were arranged, which was the original ancient Olympic Games, and Pelops became the legendary founder of the ancient Olympic Games.

The origin of the Olympic Games is actually closely related to the social situation in ancient Greece. In the 9th-8th centuries BC, the Greek clan society gradually collapsed, and the slave society of the city-state system gradually took shape, and more than 200 city-states were established. The city-states were independent, there was no unified monarch, and there were constant wars between the city-states.

In order to cope with the war, the city-states actively trained their soldiers. Children in the Spartan city-state were raised by the state from the age of 7 and were engaged in sports, military training, and military life. War needs soldiers, soldiers need to be physically strong, and sports are a powerful means of cultivating soldiers who can fight well.

The war promoted sports in Greece, and the events of the ancient Olympic Games also bear a clear military imprint. The incessant fighting has disgusted the people and there is a general desire for a peaceful environment in which to recuperate. Later the king of Sparta and the king of Elise signed a treaty"Holy Truce Month"Treaty.

As a result, military training and sports competitions in preparation for the army gradually turned into a sports meeting for peace and friendship.

The Olympics are only held every four years because they take place in ancient cities, where wars often occur, so competitions began. Slowly, there were sports competitions like the one now, and it became the Olympics.

My understanding is that people from all over the world are participating together, men, women and children are in battle, there are glory, dreams, but also disappointments and pains. There are tears, there are achievements, and the Olympic spirit is passed on.

It's nothing more than a great slogan to make money and show off.

3 Only 12 countries participated in the Games, the fewest to date. Due to the distance across the ocean, the high cost of travel, and the concern about the development of the Russo-Japanese naval war in the Far East, many European countries, including France, did not attend, and only seven countries, Britain, Germany, Greece, Norway, Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland, sent a total of only 41 European teams to participate, and some of the athletes were still expatriates or students living in the United States. The other five teams are the host countries the United States and Cuba, Canada, Australia and South Africa, which is participating in the Olympics for the first time.

A total of 625 athletes participated, including 533 from the United States and 8 female athletes, all of whom were sent by the United States. Since there were less than 100 foreign athletes, some sports, such as boxing, freestyle wrestling, archery, tennis, water polo, etc., were almost all Americans, and in the end the United States won 80% of the total championships.

It's been 32 years since the Summer Olympics.
