At the 1964 Olympic Games, () the country launched a communication satellite, which realized the live broadcast of the Olympic Games to the whole world for the first time.

"Sincombe" communication satellite launched by the United States

1 the modern Olympic games was held in Athens, Greece from April 6, 1996 to April 5, 1996. Limited by the conditions at that time, there was no swimming pool in the swimming competition. The competition is held on the high seas. The starting point and the ending point are cables pulled by floating boats, and the swimming lanes are marked with pumpkins floating on the water. The swimming distance is not measured carefully, but estimated by feeling. The method of the competition is amazing: first, the athletes are carried off the coast by a small boat. When the starter estimated that the distance was appropriate, he ordered the athletes to swim back to the shore, without seeking swimming strokes, let them play freely and determine the rankings according to the order of arriving at the shore.

Similarly, the facilities of the second Olympic Games in Paris, France are also very poor, and the track and field venues are an obvious example. This stadium is very small, with trees, soft soil and uneven runway. There is almost nothing in the stadium. In the long jump competition, players need to dig their own bunkers; The individual hurdles in the hurdle race are made up of temporary branches; Athletes who participate in throwing competitions are even worse. The equipment often collides with the branch right of the tree, and sometimes the thrown hammer will get entangled in the tree right.

Therefore, although the modern Olympic movement rose in the modern society where technology gradually dominated, at the beginning, the shadow of technology was almost invisible, and the relationship between technology and the Olympic movement was always in a relatively dull state. The technology shown in the Olympic movement is generally borrowed from other fields, such as building stadiums and swimming pools. Generally speaking, the role of technology in the early development of the Olympic movement is mostly auxiliary. With the development of science and technology, the Olympic movement has gradually introduced various technological achievements to promote its own development, especially in venues, facilities and athletes' equipment.

19 12 The 5th Swedish Olympic Games made a major breakthrough in the application of science and technology, that is, an electric timer and terminal photographic equipment were installed in the stadium on a trial basis, so that the measuring time was accurate to110 second.

The 7th Olympic Games held in Antwerp, Belgium from 65438 to 0920, compared with previous Olympic Games before World War I, made great breakthroughs in equipment and other aspects ... Antwerp has built sports facilities such as a stadium that can accommodate about 30,000 people. The cinder track of the stadium is 400 meters in circumference, which is the first time for the Olympic Games to use a standard track.

In the 9th Olympic Games held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from 65438 to 0928, the host specially built a tower to further expand the influence of the Olympic Games. During the Olympic Games, the tower has been burning with blazing fireworks. The fire was taken from Olympia, and the torch was lit by collecting sunlight with a condenser, which also represented the scientific and technological level at that time.

1936, Berlin Olympic Games, Germany, brought a brand-new revolution to the Olympic Games due to the invention of television in the early 1920s. In this Olympic Games, Germany televised the grand occasion of the Olympic Games for the first time, which not only expanded the influence of the Olympic Games in the world, but also created a precedent for televised Olympic Games in the future.

1956 Melbourne Olympic Games made a new attempt in applying new scientific and technological inventions. Since 1903, the first aircraft driven by an engine was successfully tested, it was first used in the Olympic Games and became the sacred messenger of the torch relay. The fire is still collected from Olympia as usual and transported to Melbourne by plane, with a total journey of about 20,000 kilometers.

In 1950s, the revolution of new material technology brought earth-shaking changes to the Olympic Movement. The application of new material technology, on the one hand, makes athletes' clothing begin to break away from ordinary clothing series and gradually develop into a new clothing system. Sportswear has gradually become casual, comfortable and conducive to sports. On the other hand, it shows great power in the manufacturing process of sports equipment, which greatly promotes the development of various sports. For example, in 1948, Barker introduced a new type of springboard-Barker springboard, which was made of 300 interconnected square aluminum pipes left over from the war. But before long, the springboard gave way to a stronger and lighter aluminum alloy design.

1960 Rome Olympic Games has made a new breakthrough in another aspect of scientific and technological application-the use of stimulants. The ancient capital Rome is in summer, and the heat is unbearable. The cycling race of the Olympic Games is going on nervously. Suddenly, Danish player Mark Zhan Sen fell off his speeding bike and died on the spot. At that time, people thought he was caused by heatstroke. After autopsy, it was found that the athlete took too much amphetamine-type stimulants before the game in order to win, and the fierce competition led to this tragedy.

1964 The 18 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan made a more exciting scientific and technological breakthrough. The "Sincom" communication satellite launched by the United States has broadcast the grand occasion of the Olympic Games to all parts of the world, which is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

The application of advanced electronic timing equipment in Mexico Olympic Games from.65438 to 0968 made track and field events, especially short-distance events, particularly exciting. Jim haynes of the United States broke the 100 second mark for the first time in the men's 100 meter final in track and field, and won the championship with 9.9 seconds. The electronic time of this score is 9.95 seconds, which was not refreshed by another American athlete, calvin smith, until 1983. The precision of technology makes it unnecessary for all experts to argue with the referee for even a little error, and it also makes the referee's work more fair and easy. In addition, it is worth mentioning that gender and doping tests were officially conducted for the first time in this Olympic Games, and science and technology began to play an active role in eliminating the adverse consequences caused by itself.

At the 20th Munich Olympic Games in 1972, the superiority of electronic equipment was convincingly seen. In this Olympic Games, the photoelectric rangefinder and electronic timer with the accuracy of11000 seconds were adopted for the first time. Electronic devices that automatically test and display time, speed and distance have gradually replaced human eyes and hands. High-speed camera equipment, laser devices and computers have become indispensable tools and partners for Olympic venues and referees. With their help, the timing is more accurate, the score is more convenient and the judgment is more accurate. For example, the first place in the men's 400-meter individual medley is Gong of Sweden. Larcon, second only to America? Mcgee is 0.002 second faster. Therefore, this Olympic Games is also called "Hi-tech Olympics". This can be seen as the beginning of the "high-tech Olympics", and the concept of "high-tech Olympics" has gradually entered people's thinking. 1976 At the 2 1 Olympic Games held in Montreal, Canada, the organizers accomplished the feat of transmitting the flame by satellite. They converted the flame lit in Olympia into an electronic package and sent it to Canada by satellite. The ground receiver receives the signal, the converter turns it into laser, and then the torch is lit with a laser gun.

After World War II, global science and technology made rapid progress, and science and technology began to be widely used in people's daily lives. With the help of science and technology, the rapidly developing Olympic movement began to introduce modern scientific and technological achievements in all directions, especially some cutting-edge technologies, such as transmitting the flame by plane and satellite and broadcasting the competition by communication satellite. Modern technology is no longer just an effective auxiliary means, but also a "substitute" for people. The outstanding feature is the application of electronic ranging technology and media technology, such as track and field timing ranging technology. The former makes the evaluation of sports competition results more accurate and objective and promotes fair competition. The rapid development of the latter has effectively promoted the globalization of the modern Olympic movement in the world. On the other hand, the stimulant condensed with high-tech crystallization plays a great role in improving people's sports performance and makes it something people chase. Therefore, technology not only plays a greater role in the fields of venues, facilities and athletes' equipment, but also begins to show its power in sports training and competitions. It is precisely because of the great power of technology that people began to rely more on technical means to promote the development of the Olympic movement and obtain more excellent sports achievements. The modern Olympic movement has embarked on the road without technology.

The 25th Olympic Games was held in Barcelona, Spain from July 25th to August 9th. 1992. In this Olympic Games, the electronic timer, photoelectric rangefinder and automatic scoring device originally scattered in various venues have developed into an "all-round sports operating system" connected by computer network, which can meet the needs of timing, speed measurement and scoring of all events. With the development of information technology and the application of other cutting-edge technologies, the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games became the Olympic Games with the highest scientific and technological content over the years. The information technology solution of Sydney Olympic Games mainly includes three core systems, namely, the Olympic information retrieval system, the Olympic competition results system, the Olympic management system and the official website of Sydney Olympic Games. In addition to information technology, other cutting-edge technologies, such as new material technology, have also made great contributions to improving athletes' equipment and performance, such as shark suits for swimmers. At present, the modern Olympic movement has been integrated with science and technology. Technology is no longer just the supporting force for the development of the Olympic movement, but has gradually formed its own Olympic science and technology system, which develops independently according to its own logic from assistance and support to independent action, and finally becomes a rule. In fact, the achievement of good sports results now depends entirely on technological innovation, so no one can refuse the great benefits brought by technology.
