What does sail symbolize?

The surface of a marble inherits the language of the Olympian gods. In the modern Olympic history, there is also a pattern with five rings connected: blue, yellow, black, green and red, with five colors representing five continents; The five rings are interlocking, representing the unity and cooperation of the people on five continents, and pushing sports to a higher level under the guidance of the Olympic aura.

The five rings have created the essence of the Olympic Games, and the colors of the five rings have also penetrated into it. These colorful colors make the wonderful Olympics icing on the cake and let people see a more real Olympics.

Blue is broad

-2 Sydney Olympic Games

The blue sky, the deep blue ocean and the white sail-shaped Sydney Opera House are just like a still picture, and this charming scene can only appear in Sydney ...

Sydney is beautiful because of the single-hole large iron bridge on Jackson Bay; Sydney is beautiful because of the unique Sydney Opera House. However, this is all because of the blue sea and blue sky. Without the blue background, Sydney can only fall into the ordinary, not the world-class city that everyone loves today.

Sydney is a city "floating" on the sea, with numerous branches extending inland, so that every part of it can "talk" directly with the sea. Get up in the morning, open the window, smell the faint fragrance of the sea breeze, listen to the rolling sound of the waves, and then look at the blue ocean that can't see the edge in front of you. How comfortable it is.

Blue casts the bold mind of Sydney people, who welcome the Olympic Games back to their city with enthusiasm. 44 years later, the Olympic Games came to the southern hemisphere again, and this time, Sydney really brought people a surprise. In order to express the love for blue and return the magic that blue gives Sydney, the torch was taken to the bottom of the sea and "closely contacted" with the ocean during the torch relay; When the flame was lit, creative Australians actually chose the underwater torch.

Blue also gives the countries participating in the Olympic Games a broad mind: North Korea and South Korea bury the hatchet, holding the "Korean Peninsula Flag" at the opening ceremony and entering the stadium hand in hand; At the closing ceremony, athletes from all directions freely entered the stadium, and athletes of different colors and races gathered together to celebrate this Olympic festival

-the history of Athens and the Olympic Games in 1896 and 24

can be traced back to 776 BC, and the first Pan-Greek Athletic Conference was held in Olympia, which is today's Athens. The Greeks are so crazy about sports that everything has to make way for the competition, and even the war between the city-states can be stopped.

Athens is also the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games. It gives the Olympic Games its own name and makes people all over the world know and participate in this activity. The originator of sports and the cradle of culture all cast a mysterious golden color on Athens. Its brilliance shines on every corner of the world like the sun, but it is the goddess Athena standing on high, sacred and inviolable.

In p>24, the Olympic Games returned to the place where this dream began. Although it has been more than 1 years, everyone still feels kind, just like a wandering wanderer returning to his mother's side and his long-lost home ... Yellow is the color of Athens, and history has put Athens in a yellow coat. Yellow is the color of Athens, and the warm tone is the feeling that Athens hopes to bring to the world: Come, come to Athens, come to our home!

Black and gloomy

-The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the 1976 Munich Olympic Games

People all have a wish that the Olympic Games will be conducted peacefully without war and terror, and people all over the world will be closely connected because of the Olympic Games. However, after all, sports cannot be separated from politics. Looking back on the history of the Olympic Games in the past century, people missed the 6th, 12th and 13th Olympic Games because of the war, and the Berlin Olympic Games became a "political Olympics". Because of national hatred, the Munich Olympic Games cast a black shadow.

Berlin Olympic Games is Hitler's clarion call to the world. Ironically, the Olympic torch relay, which represents human civilization and peace, started in Berlin. However, the appearance of Owens, the "black lightning", opened the layers of clouds over Berlin, giving people some hope.

Without the attack of "Black September", the Munich Olympic Games would have been perfect. This historical and modern city has witnessed the long-term development of Germany. It is the source of German civilization, and the Bavarian Palace is the crystallization of German people's labor wisdom. It is Germany's "Silicon Valley" after World War II, and the world-famous Siemens Company is the performance of the Germans' unremitting efforts. However, all this was overshadowed by the bloody case. Five Palestinian "Black September" members sneaked into the Olympic Village and attacked Israeli athletes, causing a bloody tragedy in the history of the Olympic Games.

Green Hope

-28 Beijing Olympic Games

Beijing had two experiences of bidding for the Olympic Games, failure in 1993 and success in 21. In fact, it seems that failure is not necessarily a bad thing now, because Sydney has shown people a very successful Olympic Games, and we can learn more from them.

During the Sydney Olympic Games, "Green Olympics" was put forward, which transformed the big garbage dump adjacent to the downtown area into an Olympic park. With the lessons from Sydney, Beijing regards "Green Olympics" as the biggest concept of the 28 Olympic Games. As we all know, due to its geographical location and the great destruction of the urban environment in recent years, Beijing faces sandstorms every year, which poses a great threat to Beijing's living environment. "Green Olympics" can not only make the Olympic Games and the environment develop harmoniously, but also take this opportunity to solve Beijing's environmental problems and bring "the greatest environmental wealth in history" to Beijing.

Green, the color of life, gives people hope and confidence. Our China and our Beijing are still in the development stage, but this rapid development momentum is irresistible. We have reason to believe that Beijing will welcome friends from all over the world with its most beautiful posture in four years. Green Beijing welcomes everyone!

Red Passion

-Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984

The China delegation participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in Los Angeles in 1932, and the great country only sent an athlete from Liu Changchun as its representative. He was eliminated in the preliminaries because of the fatigue of the journey by boat and car, so the Los Angeles newspaper drew a big "" and satirized China people for not winning a medal.

The flywheel of time quickly turned to 1984. The humiliation of more than 5 years ago was vivid, and China people never had a chance to prove themselves. There is an old saying in China: Where you fall, you will get up. History deliberately played a joke on the people of China, losing and winning in Los Angeles. The place where New China participated in the Olympic Games for the first time was Los Angeles. But this time, we seized the opportunity.

on July 29th, 1984, it was time to go down in history. The gun in Xu Haifeng's hand started the voice of athletes from all over the world vying for gold and silver in the Olympic Games, and he himself became the winner of the first gold medal in the history of China Olympic Games. He stood on the podium in a red tracksuit with the word "China" printed on it, and the bright five-star red flag slowly rose with March of the Volunteers, thus the "red whirlwind" in Los Angeles began. In the case of losing in the team competition, Li Ning turned the tide in the individual competition and won three gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal, becoming the player with the most medals in this Olympic Games. Luan Jujie struggled hard in the fencing events that Europeans have dominated for generations and won the women's foil championship; China women's volleyball team, in the face of the host with the right place and the right time, was not discouraged, and beat its opponent cleanly to win the third consecutive championship ... China's red whirlwind blew to the end in Los Angeles ................................................................................................................... Saying that the world is the most powerful.
