Time of the 2nd Olympic Games: May 20th 1900 ~1October 28th 10 Location: Paris, France The 2nd Olympic Games was held in the world-famous French capital Paris from May 20th1900 to1October 28th. This Olympic Games was held under the indifference of Parisians, who were attracted by the World Expo held at the same time: "It was the World Expo that made the Eiffel Tower a decoration". At that time, some influential people in Greece believed that the Olympic Games was a part of Greek national culture and could only be held in Greece, and Athens should be the fixed address of the Olympic Games. If it is held in another country, it will be an open plunder of the great and brilliant Greek culture. However, Coubertin, who has succeeded Kailas as the president of the International Olympic Committee, insisted on this issue. He said that the Olympic movement belongs to Greece and the whole world. He believes that the Olympic Games must be held in different countries in order to make it international and full of vitality. Greece was finally persuaded and Paris won the right to host the Olympic Games. This Olympic Games broke the situation that only male athletes participated in the previous Olympic Games, and for the first time, 1 1 female athletes appeared. Although the participation of female athletes has not been officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee, women's participation in the Olympic Games is a precedent for women to enter the world sports stage. In addition, the inclusion of team events in the Olympic Games for the first time is also a major change and breakthrough in this competition. The ancient Olympic Games was only a competition between individuals. At the first Olympic Games, although some team events were popular in Europe and America, they were not included in the competition in order to follow the tradition of the ancient Olympic Games. Britain, France and Belgium took part in the football competition in this Olympic Games, which made football the first world-wide competition and played a certain role in promoting the establishment of the International Football Federation and the development of world football. Judging from the number of events, the number of events in this Olympic Games has also increased greatly, from 9 in the last session to 17. Weightlifting and wrestling were cancelled, and archery, equestrian, water polo, rowing, sailing, football, rugby, golf and tennis were added. Most of the new projects are collective projects. For the first time, track and field events included obstacle course, standing jump (high jump, long jump and triple jump), team running and tug-of-war, but most new events were gradually cancelled. Because the second Olympic Games did not leave a formal summary record, some events, such as cricket, equestrian and archery, are still controversial. The schedule of this Olympic Games is relaxed and not compact. Fencing is scheduled for June, track and field gymnastics for July, swimming and rowing for August, cycling for September, and so on. The sports meeting lasted for five months from May 20th to June 28th in 10, and was called "Marathon" sports meeting. The competition venues are also very scattered, and the organizers of the conference are ingenious and divide the competition projects into 16 regions according to the industrial categories of the Expo. For example, fencing is arranged in the sword manufacturing industrial zone and boating is arranged in the life-saving system exhibition area. In fact, the sports meeting has become a part of the World Expo and a sports performance to attract the audience. Some events are over, and individual athletes don't even know that they are participating in the Olympic Games. The venues of the Paris Olympic Games are not only scattered, but also have poor facilities. Track and field is a vivid example. The competition was held in a forest farm in the center of Paris, which used to be the racecourse of the French horse racing club. Although the environment is beautiful and the air is fresh, it is not suitable for holding track and field competitions. It has small space, trees, soft soil, uneven runway and almost no facilities on the stadium. In the jumping competition, players need to dig bunkers themselves; Hurdling personal hurdles are temporarily supported by branches; Athletes who participate in throwing competitions are even worse. Equipment often collides with branches, sometimes the thrown hammer will entangle them, and they have to be removed from the tree before the game. There was no active preparation before the Olympic Games and no formal summary after the games, which led to many omissions in the records of the games. Although the host did not pay enough attention to the Olympic Games, it still achieved good results. France won a total of 26 gold medals, which is also France's best result in the Olympic Games. However, the host did not award gold, silver and bronze medals. The winners only got some trophies, commemorative cards and some physical prizes, such as umbrellas, cigarette cases, wallets and other items. Christian Sunday track and field events caused some controversy on the schedule. /kloc-July of 0/4 is French National Day, and there is a grand celebration in Paris, so the host wants to postpone the game for one day, but it is opposed by countries such as Britain and the United States. Because July 15 is a Sunday, the Christians among the contestants can't take part in the competition because they want to go to church. Although the French later gave in, the game was arranged for these two days. American track and field team members come from different universities and sports groups, and there is no unified command system, and they are fragmented. Some take an indifferent attitude towards Sunday's game with the players themselves; Others are very strict and not allowed to play. Therefore, there was a dispute within the American track and field team. For example, in the long jump, the main competitors are two American athletes, a kraenzlein and Mai Princeton. They all come from different universities. In the preliminaries, Princeton jumped 7. 175 meters, ahead of other players. But the next day, Princeton university rules prohibit playing, and Kraenzlein university is at your disposal. Results Kraenzlein won the championship of this project with a score of 7.185m. Princeton refused to accept it and put forward a showdown. Kraenzlein refused the challenge. Strange Marathon Schedule The starting point and the ending point of the marathon in the third Olympic Games are located in the racecourse as a track and field. The route is to turn around in downtown Paris and turn back. On this day, Parisians flocked to the streets to watch this sports event. As only French runners among the 19 runners who participated in this marathon know the streets and alleys of Paris like the back of their hands, they can "cut corners" when turning corners, thus taking a lot of advantages. As a result, the Frenchman Teato was the first to reach the finish line in 2: 59' 45 "and won the championship. Foreign players are unlucky, so they get confused when they walk and take many detours. In particular, Fast, a boy aged 19 from Sweden, could have achieved better results, but was pointed in the wrong direction by a policeman, and finally only won the third place. Afterwards, the policeman committed suicide because of extreme guilt. Newton, an American player, once said after the game: "I took the lead in the middle of the race, and no one passed me until the finish line." I thought I won the championship. How can anyone be in front of me? "It's a mystery." "Real" Shooting Competition In the shooting competition of this Olympic Games, contestants have to shoot live flying pigeons. Results Belgian Leren shot down 2 1 flying pigeon within the specified time and won the championship of this project. The man of the hour stood up in a wheelchair. Ray Yuri, a 27-year-old American player, was very weak when he was young. He has been living in a wheelchair since he got polio. Later, he followed the doctor's advice and took part in physical exercise. He recovered his health through exercise with tenacious will and became an outstanding player on the field. July 16, won the standing high jump, standing long jump and standing triple jump in one fell swoop. His talent in standing long jump earned him the reputation of "rubber man". Four years later, Yuri successfully defended his title at the St. Louis Olympics. Win these three titles again. Yuri won two more gold medals in the 1906 Athens Games to celebrate the anniversary of the Olympic Games 10. 1908 At the London Olympic Games, Yuri, then 35, won the standing high jump and standing long jump again, thus setting a record for the first time to win the most gold medals in Olympic history. After a long period of unremitting practice, a disabled child finally succeeded. This is the Olympic spirit of continuous progress and eternal progress, and the significance of sports to life is nothing more than that.
