What is the slogan of the International Olympic Games?

The motto of the International Olympic Games is Faster, Higher, Stronger (Citius, Altius, Fortius). The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and were named after Olympia, where they were held. They are held every four years and last no more than 16 days.

I. Introduction to the Games

The Olympic Games is a quadrennial Olympic celebration under the guidance of Olympism, with sports and Olympic Games as the main activities, to promote the overall development of human physiology, psychology and social morality, to promote mutual understanding between the peoples of different countries, to popularize Olympism throughout the world, and to safeguard the world's interests. The Olympic Games are an international social movement to popularize Olympism throughout the world and to maintain world peace.

1. On June 23, 1894, when the French educator Pierre de Coubertin, who is honored as the "Father of the Olympics," decided to establish the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with 79 representatives from 12 countries and started the Olympic Movement, this feat once became the object of irony. But today, a century later, the Games have become a universal festival and the Olympic movement has attracted the active participation of 202 countries and regions.

2. In 1998, the famous Life magazine published the 1,000 most important events and people in the past millennium selected by historians, and Coubertin's feat of restoring the Olympic Games in 1896 was among them, hailed as one of the events of the millennium.

3. The Olympic Movement is a rare masterpiece of human society, which has brought the multiple functions of sports into full play, with an influence far beyond the realm of sports, and has produced a series of influences that cannot be ignored in many aspects of the contemporary world, such as politics, economy, philosophy, culture, art and the news media.

4. The Olympic Movement is a product of its time, and the Industrial Revolution has greatly expanded the economic, political and cultural ties between the peoples of the world, and the increasingly close contacts between countries have created an urgent need for a variety of means of communication to strengthen international mutual understanding. The Olympic movement is precisely to adapt to this social need and the emergence of the human society to a certain stage of development of the inevitable product.

The Olympic Games, together with the soccer World Cup and the Formula One World Championship, are known as the world's three major sports events.

The bidding process

1. The bidding city submits a written application to the International Olympic Committee (IOC)

The IOC starts the bidding process eight years before the Olympic Games and sets a clear deadline. Cities wishing to host the Games must submit a formal written application to the IOC before this date. The application report must be approved by the National Olympic Committee of the country and signed by the government of that country to indicate its support. If more than two cities in the same country wish to bid for the Games, the Olympic Committee of that country will decide on one of them.

2. The IOC Executive Board will conduct a preliminary screening of the cities that have submitted bids.

3. The IOC Evaluation Commission conducts a site visit to the bidding city. The IOC and the International Federations in charge of the Olympic program send out forms and questionnaires to investigate the conditions of the bidding city, which are very specific and detailed, covering all aspects of organizing the Olympic Games.

The Evaluation Committee will go to each bidding city to conduct on-site inspections and submit the results of the inspections in the form of a written report to the IOC, which will be distributed to each member of the Committee as one of the references for the members to vote on in the final plenary session.

4. The IOC Plenary will vote to determine the host city.

5. The IOC signs a contract with the host city.

The Olympic Declaration

1. On November 25, 1892, Baron Coubertin gave a brilliant speech at the University of the Sorbonne in Paris to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the French Athletics Federation. He called on people to "persevere in the pursuit and realization of a great and useful cause based on the conditions of modern life." This extremely informative, passionate and historic speech came to be known as the Olympic Declaration.

2. In 1914, the European War broke out. The speech could not be published publicly in the war-torn environment, and Coubertin could only hide it quietly. 1937, Coubertin died of an acute heart attack, and the once exhilarating and exciting manifesto seemed to have been gradually forgotten as the speech went unaccounted for. The Marquis de Damas is the sole rights holder to the dissemination of Coubertin's Olympic Manifesto.

3. On January 02, 2008, in commemoration of the 145th anniversary of the birth of Coubertin, the celebration of the world premiere of the Olympic Manifesto in Chinese, French and English was held in Beijing. A century after the loss of the manuscript of the Olympic Declaration, when China entered the Olympic year, with the consent of the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Mr. Rogge, and the copyright holder, the Marquis de Damas of France, Civilization Magazine published and distributed for the first time in the world a copy of the Olympic Declaration in Chinese, French and English scripts.

Fourth, the Olympic symbols

The Olympic Games have a series of unique and distinctive symbolic symbols, such as the Olympic symbol, motto, Olympic flag, anthem, emblem, medals, mascots, etc. These symbols have rich cultural meanings, and figuratively embody the values and cultural connotations of the Olympic ideal.

1, the five Olympic rings logo, which consists of five Olympic rings snapped together, blue, black, red, yellow and green five colors. The meaning of the five rings is to symbolize the unity of the five continents as well as the athletes from all over the world meeting each other in the Olympic Games in the spirit of fair and frank competition and friendship.

2. The Olympic Charter stipulates that the property rights of the Olympic Symbol, the Olympic Flag, the Olympic Motto and the Olympic Anthem shall be the exclusive property of the IOC. The IOC may take all appropriate measures to obtain legal protection for the Olympic symbol, flag, motto and anthem at the national and international levels.

3, the Olympic flag in 1913 by Gu Baidan personally designed, 3 meters long, 2 meters wide. 1914 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the resumption of the modern Olympic movement, held in Paris, the Olympic Congress for the first time raised. 1920 Antwerp Olympic Games officially adopted. The Olympic flag has three rings of blue, black and red above and two rings of yellow and green below.

4, the IOC in 1958 in Tokyo, held in the 55th Olympic Pic Plenary finalized or "Olympic hymn" (Samaras chant) as the Olympic anthem. The sheet music is stored at the IOC headquarters. Since then, in the opening and closing ceremonies of each Olympic Games can be heard this melodious ancient Greek music.
