What is the spirit of the Winter Olympics?

The spirit embodied in the Winter Olympics:

The spirit of the Winter Olympics is the Olympic spirit, including "understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition".

The Olympic spirit was put forward by Pierre De Coubertin. In order to introduce a vibrant new education system to the motherland, Coubertin devoted himself to studying different contemporary education systems and the history of ancient Greece since he was a teenager.

He hopes that French youth can accept a new education system, that is, to strengthen moral cultivation and confidence, while exercising and cultivating courage and strong personality.

Through the investigation of the ancient Olympic Games, Coubertin realized that the ancient Greeks organized competitions not only to exercise their physique and show spectacular scenes, but also to educate people. He believes that sports competitions can temper people's will, cultivate people's character and exercise people at the same time.

The promotion of the Winter Olympics to the economy is: the development of the ice and snow industry.

By the end of 20021and 10, the number of people involved in ice and snow sports in China was 346 million, and the participation rate of ice and snow sports was 24.56%. For the ice and snow industry in China, "300 million people" is not only a number that marks the popularization of ice and snow sports, but also a milestone in the development of the industry. It is predicted that in 20021-2022, China's ice and snow leisure tourism income is expected to reach 323.3 billion yuan.

From 20 15 to 2020, the total scale of ice and snow industry in China will increase from 270 billion yuan to 600 billion yuan. It is estimated that by 2025, the total scale of ice and snow industry in China will exceed one trillion yuan. Participating in ice and snow sports has become a new way of consumption for China people.

At present, China is in a critical period of a new round of consumption structure upgrading, which provides a strong support for the development of ice and snow economy. According to the development experience of international ice and snow sports, when a country's per capita GDP exceeds 654.38+0 million US dollars, the ice and snow sports will usher in explosive development.
