1. Green Olympics and Environmental Protection
Environmental protection is a global topic. As an influential sports event in the world-Olympic Games, for a long time, it seems that environmental protection has left trouble for the world. Especially before the 1970s and 1980s, after each Olympic Games, what was left to the host country was the result of polluting the urban environment and destroying the ecological environment. With the development of the times, the Olympic family pays more and more attention to environmental protection.
From the above example, we can see that the influence of the environment on the Olympic Games is very important. In fact, the development of the Olympic Games also affects environmental protection. Many sports have to use the natural environment to compete, and all athletes have to rely on fresh air and clean water to maximize their level. On the contrary, sports, including competitive sports and fitness sports, also have a certain impact on the environment. In fact, this simple truth has only been realized in recent years. Since the mid-1960s, the building facilities of the Olympic Games have developed rapidly on the road of large-scale and modernization, but little attention has been paid to the impact on the city and the natural environment, which not only brought bad consequences to the host city of the Olympic Games, but also affected the development of the Olympic Movement itself.
At present, the conflict between the Olympic Games and the environment is mainly manifested in the following aspects: building a large number of venues and facilities will destroy the environment and aggravate pollution; Water conservancy projects will pollute waters and even water sources; During the Olympic Games, a large number of people will bring traffic congestion, energy consumption, air pollution and noise pollution, as well as garbage stacking problems; Improper use of venues after the games will have an impact on the ecology and become a social burden. In fact, as early as 1974, that is, two years after the United Nations held a conference on human environmental development in Stockholm, Sweden, the International Olympic Committee put forward environmental protection requirements, but it did not attract enough attention at that time. With the increasing degree of environmental damage, environmental protection has been paid more and more attention by the International Olympic Committee. In the late 1980s, both the IOC and the host city began to pay attention to environmental protection. Samaranch pointed out that "culture and environment are the two things that the IOC is most concerned about as it moves towards the third millennium" and "when choosing the host city of the Olympic Games, priority should be given to the impact of planned sports facilities on the ecological environment". In the 1990s, the Olympic Movement tried to provide a model for human society to live in harmony with nature in protecting the ecological environment. This new goal is marked by the new Olympic Museum of the International Olympic Committee, which was completed in 1993. In order to protect the environment and not destroy the surrounding landscape, the whole museum adopts the architectural principle of relying on topography and developing downwards. Three of the five-story buildings are underground, and the above-ground part is integrated with the environment. In order to preserve an ancient oak tree, the designer spared no effort to revise the construction plan by several drafts, so that this old oak tree of the same age as the modern Olympic Games can be preserved in the museum. 1999, the international Olympic Committee formulated the Olympic agenda 2 1 century, which made it clear that the Olympic movement should make every effort to promote global sustainable development and environmental protection. Promoting sustainable development has become one of the basic goals of the Olympic Movement.

The origin and development of the Olympic Games
1. The modern Olympic movement rose in the capitalist industrial era in Europe, but its origin can be traced back to the Olympic Games in ancient Greece. The ancient Olympic Games was held every four years. From the first recorded Olympic Games in 776 BC to 393 AD, * * * held a total of 293 sessions, which lasted165,438+069, and experienced the emergence, development and decline of several classes.
First of all, the natural environment of ancient Greece and the formation of competitive sports customs.
The superior geographical position made ancient Greece a meeting place of many cultures, which increased its enthusiasm for learning. Kick? What is this? Where are the curtains? What's the fuss? What's the best way to do it? Noon? Suntan sedan chair, suntan sedan chair, suntan sedan chair, suntan sedan chair. Hey @ Bassoon? Make trouble with a plaque? Hey? BR & gt
Second, the events of the early Olympic Games also reflected the development relationship between the war and the ancient Olympic Games. In the 500 years since 776 AD, the Olympic events have gradually expanded, from a single competition to wrestling, mixed martial arts, boxing, four-horse chariots, horse racing, wrestling, horse racing and pentathlon. Most of these events are related to military skills, which reflects the role of war in promoting the development of Olympic events. Although the events of the ancient Olympic Games had obvious military brand, the Olympic Games itself was a grand event of the whole Greek nation. Although there are frequent conflicts between the city-states, they are also closely related. Especially since the 8th century BC, with the rise of the ancient Greek colonial movement, a Greek civilization circle has been formed in the Mediterranean region.
Third, the religious customs of ancient Greece and the formation of the Olympic model.
The ancient Olympic Games is a pan-Greek religious celebration, which has the following three characteristics: first, the worship of the gods of Olympus; Second, there is a unique sacrificial system; Third, there are rich religious myths and legends.
Fourth, the rise and fall of the ancient Olympic Games.
It can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage (8th century BC-6th century BC) developed into a grand event attended by Greek city-states. The second stage (6th century BC-4th century BC) was the heyday of slavery in ancient Greek city-states, and the ancient Olympic Games reached its peak. In the third stage (4th century BC-4th century AD), ancient Greece was conquered by Macedonia and the Roman Empire, and the ancient Olympic Games entered a period of decline.
Second, the motivation of the Olympic movement:
In order to meet the needs of international sports development,/kloc-in the second half of the 9th century, with the development of international political and economic situation, modern sports showed two obvious development trends. One is the rapid development of competitive sports, and the other is the internationalization trend of sports. 188 1 year, the first international individual sports organization, the International Gymnastics Federation, was established. With the expansion of international sports exchanges, it has become an urgent need of the times to establish a comprehensive stage for international sports exchanges and an international sports organization that coordinates the activities of individual organizations and plays a management role.
Finally, at the suggestion of Coubertin 1893, the French Federation of Athletics Associations held an international sports conference. Discuss the revival of the Olympic Games.
1894 the international sports conference was grandly opened at the Sorbonne theological seminary in Paris. And adopted an important document-the resolution on "Resuming the Olympic Games". As the first Olympic Games will be held in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games from 65438 to 0896, Kailas VI of Greece will be the first president and Coubertin will be the secretary-general. Congress stipulates which country's big cities hold the Olympic Games every four years.
