I. Introduction to the Games
1. Under the guidance of Olympism, the main activities of the Olympic Games are sports and the four-year Olympic celebration, which promotes the all-round development of people's physiology, psychology and social morality. The Olympic movement includes an ideological system with Olympism as the core, an organizational system with the International Olympic Committee, international individual sports federations and national Olympic committees as the backbone, and an activity system with the Olympic Games as the cycle.
2.1On June 23rd, 894, when Pierre De Coubertin, a French educator known as the "father of the Olympics" and 79 representatives from 12 countries decided to set up the International Olympic Committee to start the Olympic Movement, this feat was once the object of irony. One hundred years later, the Olympic Games has become a festival celebrated all over the world, and the Olympic movement has attracted the active participation of 202 countries and regions.
3. 1998, the famous "Life" magazine published 1000 the most important events and figures in the past Millennium, and Coubertin's feat of restoring the Olympic Games in 1896 was among them, which was regarded as one of the Millennium events.
The Olympic movement is a rare masterpiece of human society, which fully demonstrates the various functions of sports and its influence goes far beyond the scope of sports. It has produced a series of influences that cannot be ignored in politics, economy, philosophy, culture, art and news media in the contemporary world.
The Olympic movement is the product of the times. The industrial revolution has greatly expanded the economic, political and cultural ties among all ethnic groups in the world, and the exchanges between countries have become increasingly close. There is an urgent need to strengthen international mutual understanding through various means of communication. The appearance of the Olympic Movement adapts to the needs of this society and is the inevitable product of the development of human society to a certain stage.
Olympic Games, Football World Cup and World Formula One Championship are called the three major sports events in the world.
Second, the sign
1. The Olympic Games has a series of unique and distinctive symbols, such as the Olympic logo, motto, Olympic flag, anthem, emblem, medals and mascots. These signs have rich cultural connotations and vividly reflect the value orientation and cultural connotation of the Olympic ideal.
2. The five Olympic rings are nested by five Olympic rings, and there are five colors: blue, black, red, yellow and green. The meaning of the five rings symbolizes the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in the Olympic Games with fair and frank competition and friendly spirit.
3. The Olympic flag was designed by Coubertin himself in 19 13, with a length of 3m and a width of 2m. 19 14 It was first put forward at the Olympic Congress in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the modern Olympic Movement. 1920 The Antwerp Olympic Games was officially adopted. The top of the Olympic flag has three rings of blue, black and red, and the bottom has two rings of yellow and green.
Olympic motto is also called Olympic slogan. The Olympic movement has a famous motto:
Faster, higher and stronger. This maxim was said by Henri Didong, a good friend of Coubertin and the abbot of L 'Aquile Abbey in Paris, at an outdoor sports meeting to encourage students.
Third, the bidding procedure.
1. The bidding city shall submit a written application to the IOC. The International Olympic Committee started bidding eight years before the Olympic Games and set a clear deadline.

The application report must be approved by the National Olympic Committee and signed by the government to show its support.
2. The Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee makes a preliminary screening of the cities that submitted the bid.
3. The IOC Evaluation Committee conducts field visits to the bidding cities.

These problems are very specific and detailed, involving all aspects of hosting the Olympic Games.

Extended data:
mascot
1. In the history of the Olympic Games, the mascot first appeared at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. Since then, mascots have become a major part of the image characteristics of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee and the organizing committees of previous Olympic Games have high requirements on the design of mascots. The unveiling of mascots for each 1 Olympic Games has attracted the world's attention and become the highlight of this Olympic Games.
2. From the artistic form of mascots, before the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, most of the Olympic mascots were based on animal images with national characteristics, usually a species. After 1992, figures or completely virtual bodies appeared in the Olympic mascots, and the figures also changed.
During 1998, there were four mascots in Nagano Winter Olympics, three mascots in Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, two mascots in Athens Olympic Games in 2004 and five mascots in Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
3. No matter what form it takes, its basic creative core is conducive to expressing the theme of this Olympic Games, to expressing the unique regional characteristics, historical culture and humanistic characteristics of the host city, and to market development and protection.
