After King George I delivered a speech, accompanied by beautiful and solemn classical orchestral music, the audience sang orchestral music like a religious hymn, enthusiastically eulogized the Olympic Movement, and was later selected as the Olympic anthem. The marble stadium in Athens was the main stadium of the first Olympic Games. It was rebuilt on the ruins of the ancient stadium in Athens. Australia, Bulgaria, Austria, Britain, Germany, Denmark, Hungary, the United States, France, Chile, Sweden and Switzerland were invited to participate in the first Olympic Games. Together with the host, there are * * * 3 1 1 athletes from 13 countries.

Other Asian and African countries also failed to accept the invitation to participate in the competition.

The racetrack of the former French horse racing club in Bruni, a suburb of Paris, serves as the main stadium. From May 1900 to 10/0, the Paris Olympic Games will be held during the World Expo. Due to the enthusiasm of the French organizers for the World Expo, this Olympic Games is not only long, but also scattered and poorly equipped. The organizing committee borrowed the racetrack of the former French racing club in boulogne, a suburb of Paris, as the main venue, with only 500 seats in the audience. There is no opening ceremony for this Olympic Games.

Main venue of the 4th Olympic Games

Baicheng Stadium, the main venue of the 4th Olympic Games.

1908 The 4th Olympic Games was first won by Rome. Rome won the right to host the Olympic Games with another Italian city, Milan, Berlin, Germany and London, England. However, during the informal Olympic Games held in Greece in 1906, Mount Vesuvius in Italy erupted, which caused huge economic losses to Italy. Italy told the International Olympic Committee that due to financial difficulties, it was unable to build competition venues and announced that it would give up hosting the fourth Olympic Games. In the remaining two years, the IOC had to turn to London for help. After evaluation, London promised to hold the 1908 Olympic Games as scheduled, and immediately set up a preparatory committee to build Baicheng Stadium. The stadium was completed in 10 months, and it didn't cost the government a dime. It is mainly funded by the Expo jointly organized by Britain and France, and is located next to the Expo Park. In addition to the cinder track, the stadium also includes a gymnasium, a swimming pool with a length of 100 meters and a bicycle lane with a circumference of 666.66 meters, which integrates four functions and can accommodate 70,000 people. This kind of stadium is unique and special in previous Olympic Games.

1908 On April 27th, the 4th Olympic Games was successfully opened in Baicheng Stadium, London. The opening ceremony was presided over by King Edward VII of England. It was a bad day. The King and Queen of England, the Crown Prince of Greece, many members of the royal family, politicians, IOC officials and about 25,000 spectators in the stands attended the opening ceremony on a foggy rainy day. For the first time, this Olympic Games stipulated that all delegations should wear uniform clothes at the opening ceremony, and the following teams should bring their national flags into the stadium. It is also stipulated that when the flag bearers pass the observation deck of King Edward VII of England, they should hang their flags to show their respect.

In 19 12, the International Olympic Committee decided to take Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, as the venue for the 5th Olympic Games. Therefore, Sweden built the Korolev Stadium. Although it can only accommodate more than 37,000 spectators, it is much smaller than the stadiums in St. Louis and London, but it is fully equipped and advanced. The total length of the runway is 380.33 meters, which is close to the standard runway length today. This is also the first time that athletes have competed on a relatively standard runway since the opening of the Olympic Games. An electric timer and terminal photographic equipment were experimentally installed in the stadium, and the time was accurate to one tenth of a second.

On July 6th, the sports meeting was officially opened in Korolev Gymnasium. It was a sunny day, and King Gustav of Sweden and IOC officials headed by Coubertin attended the conference. A grand ceremony was held for the first time, and Swedish girls performed wonderful song and dance performances, thus forming a tradition. Twenty-eight countries were invited to participate in the competition, with a total of 2,547 athletes, including 57 female athletes. Countries participating for the first time include Egypt, Luxembourg, Portugal, Syria and Japan.

Main venue of the 7th Olympic Games

The main venue of the 7th Olympic Games-Beshout Pastoral Stadium.

"Beerschot" was built in 19 14. It was built by Antwerp architect Montigny and his colleague Summers, who was one of the members of the epee team who won the championship in 19 12 Olympic Games. This stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 spectators, adopted a runway with a circumference of 400 meters for the first time in Olympic history. Since then, in addition to the 500-meter runway used by 1924 Olympic Games, the 400-meter runway has been used since 1928. The runway is paved with cinders, and the quality is very poor. During the competition, it rained one after another, resulting in water accumulation in the venue, so most of the projects were not good.

Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is unusual because it has just experienced a world war. On the morning of the opening of the August 14 Games, the Archbishop of Belgium held a mass in the church in the center of Antwerp to mourn the famous Olympic athletes who died in World War I.. In the afternoon, the official opening ceremony was held in Antwerp Stadium. After the opening ceremony of His Majesty King Albert of Belgium, the Olympic flag designed by Coubertin 19 13 was raised for the first time. Subsequently, a group of individuals symbolizing peace took off and circled over the venue, which was also the first batch of peace doves in Olympic history. In addition, in order to mourn the allied soldiers who died in World War I, the flame symbolizing victory and light was lit on the playground for the first time. Unlike the later Olympic flame, the flame was not taken from Olympia and the torch relay was not carried out. At the opening ceremony, the oath ceremony for athletes was held for the first time. This ceremony was proposed by Coubertin 19 13 and approved by the International Olympic Committee. It is planned to be implemented in the 6th Olympic Games. The reason is that some athletes cheated in order to win the gold medal in the previous two Olympic Games, which prompted Coubertin to choose the oath ceremony for athletes in the ancient Olympic Games. Belgian water polo and fencing player Victor Boone took the oath for the first time on behalf of the athletes. After taking the oath, 1200 Belgian singer gave a wonderful performance.

After Paris became the first city to host the Olympic Games twice, the citizens of Paris showed great enthusiasm for the Olympic Games. In order to run the Olympic Games well, all kinds of ideas and design schemes were sent to the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee from all over France. Among them, the idea of building a stadium with a capacity of 654.38+million spectators and an Olympic village with a capacity of 2,000 people put forward by Jiu Sarek, a former French rugby captain and a silver medalist in the last Olympic Games, was approved. Everything seems to be going well, but the funding problem has become the most headache for the Preparatory Committee. Although the war has passed, the urban area has been rebuilt, factories have resumed production, people's lives are on the right track, and the traces of war have basically been calmed down, but the French government has spent huge sums of money on this. In addition, in the winter of 1923, the Seine River burst its banks and floods hit Paris, which made the already tense French finances even more stretched. The French elite even offered to give up the right to host and let Los Angeles take over. However, the Preparatory Committee withstood the pressure and overcame many difficulties, and raised 4 million francs to build the "Colombo" sports ground with a capacity of more than 60,000 people.
