Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics, which have been postponed for a year, will finally meet with you in a few days. However, this Olympic Games, which spent the most money in history, created the most shabby Olympic village; the suicide of the director of the accounting department, the continuous infection of athletes, rape at the venue and other scandals, at first glance, the Tokyo Olympics are one of the most failed Olympic Games in history.
When people think of failure, they naturally think of its opposite—success, and even greatness. To say that the five most successful Olympic Games in history, during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the foreign media "the post game" took stock of this. Next, I will take you on a review.
What made a great Olympics? The outstanding performance of athletes will make an Olympic Games stand out. But when it comes to "greatness," there are many more reasons for that.
A great city with perfect infrastructure, people living and working in peace, and a comfortable atmosphere can make the Olympic Games special.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 2000 Sydney Olympics</h1>
The Sydney Olympics are recognized as the most successful Olympic games in Olympic history, and unlike all previous Olympic Games, the Sydney Olympics are hardly controversial.
In fact, the Sydney Olympics were so outstanding that it was decided after samaranch, then president of the International Olympic Committee, declared it "the best Olympic Games in history".
34 world records were set at the Sydney Olympics, many of which were set in the pool. Australia's talented Thorpe won the 400-meter freestyle, setting the first world record for the Olympic Games. Later that day, Thorpe and his teammates beat the United States by 0.2 seconds in the 4× 100m freestyle relay, setting another world record.
But it wasn't just Thorpe who made a name for himself in the pool, Phelps, who now has the most medals in Olympic history, and his first Olympic participation at the age of 15 was the Sydney Olympics. Phelps is also the youngest swimmer to be named on the U.S. Olympic team since 1934.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer</h1>
The Lillehammer Winter Olympics were the most successful Winter Olympics in history. Lillehammer is a quaint mountain town in Norway that brings together the innocence, beauty and desire to succeed that make up the Olympic ideal.
The Lillehammer Winter Olympics are the first Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are not held in the same year, and this Winter Olympics is held only two years after the previous Winter Olympics.
At the Winter Olympics, host Norway won 26 medals, more than any other country. Kim Moon-Mi, 13, became (and still is) the world's youngest Olympic gold medalist. She is a member of the South Korea 3000m Speed Skating Relay Team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 1992 Barcelona Olympics</h1>
Barcelona is considered almost impossible to host an Olympic Games that has been called the best in history. But from the moment the Olympic flame was lit, everything was wonderful in Barcelona.
This Catalan city has a seaside setting, spectacular architecture, diverse food and an uplifting spirit. After the abolition of apartheid, South Africa participated in the Olympic Games for the first time since 1960; Germany sent a unified team for the first time since 1964; Chinese diver Fu Mingxia won the gold medal in the diving competition, becoming the youngest summer Olympic gold medalist in history; the American "Dream Team" set off a storm at the Olympic Games, making the Olympic debut of professional basketball players a spectacle.
The Olympics gave Barcelona all its beauty and fun, and the city instantly became a favourite destination for tourists from all over the world. In addition to the two-week competition, the Olympic Games laid the foundation for the sport that still exists in Barcelona today.
The Mayor of Barcelona Xavier Trias said in 2012: "In Barcelona, hosting major sporting competitions is now a key part of our development and I believe that sport is the perfect way to energize a city, improve its well-being and bring it to the international stage." ”
<H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics</h1>
Although the Soviet Union persuaded 12 other countries to give up their participation in los Angeles in retaliation for the 1980 U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics, the absence of Teams from Eastern European countries had little impact on the Games.
Los Angeles was the first Olympics to start earning, with revenues of up to $200 million. In response to budget overruns from previous Moscow and Montreal Olympics, Los Angeles leveraged its legacy infrastructure, including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was once the main venue for the 1932 Olympics and is still home to the UNIVERSITY of Southern California rugby.
At the Olympics, Carl Lewis won four gold medals (100m, 200m, 4× 100m relay, long jump), and Mary Lou Layton became the first non-Oriental national gymnast to win the gymnastics all-around.
In addition to these achievements, the women's marathon made its debut at the Los Angeles Olympics. When Jordan, Ewing and Mullin teamed up to win the Olympic gold medal, the world also saw in advance what the basketball "dream team" would look like.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 1948 London Olympics</h1>
The first Olympic Games after World War II were less than satisfactory. London was bombed to the ground, and post-war Europe was devastated. But the Olympics were indeed part of the healing process for the world after the 1940 and 1944 Olympics were cancelled.
Known as the "Frugal Olympics", the London Olympics have no new venues and athletes live in existing facilities throughout the region, rather than a central athletes' village. With the economic and infrastructural impact of World War II still in place and food and gas rations still in place, Britain had considered giving the United States the right to host the Games.
After Britain chose to continue hosting, organiser Lord Burley called the Olympics "a raging fire of hope, a desire to better understand the world, but it has burned so low." ”
The brightest star of the Olympics is the "flying housewife" – Dutch sprinter Fanny Blanc Cohen, a mother of two who has won four gold medals in athletics. The London Olympics attracted 59 countries, the most since the Games were held.
The unexpected failure of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games made Chinese people feel incredible!
