Recently, the Olympic events, which have gradually faded in domestic popularity, have once again rushed to the hot search, but compared with the Beijing Winter Olympics two years ago, this hot search is quite dramatic.
This is also a rare time for the Olympic Organizing Committee to publicly criticize a country.
In the past, the Olympic Games have always boasted of peace, friendship, fairness and progress.
The Olympic Charter states that the Olympic spirit should be based on mutual understanding, solidarity, fair play and friendship, while emphasizing the understanding of cultural differences.
In this charter, it is stated that there is no discrimination in the Games and that everyone has the possibility to play sports.
In this case, does the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games go so far as to publicly accuse Russia of hosting the Olympic Games with very strong political implications?
1. Pull the bias frame
In fact, the reason why Russia did it was really helpless.
Because Russia has been banned from participating in the Paris Olympics.
Athletes can only be neutrals and cannot participate in the entry, and the national anthem cannot be played after the victory.
However, it is also the same cause of civilian and human casualties in the Gaza Strip, but Israel is prominently on the list of participants.
The Olympic Organizing Committee's naked behavior of pulling the bias is simply not too obvious.
In fact, allowing Russian athletes to participate in their personal capacity this time is also an insult to the country.
As the world's largest platform, when the athletes of a country accept the fate of this neutral status, it already means that the country to which the athlete belongs bows its head.
Even winning on the field can be seen as a humiliation.
The spirit of the previous Olympics was to be faster, higher, stronger, and fair, and this theme is particularly ridiculous in the face of what they are doing.
But this is not the first time that the Olympic Organizing Committee has pulled a shelf.
The bad behavior from the United States and the West made the Russian side very dissatisfied, so it made a decision that shocked the world.
What exactly this decision is, more on that later.
In peacetime, the Olympic Games are actually the main battlefield for various countries to compete, and in peacetime, the military cannot use it to show the strength of a country, so it can only use its hands and feet in the Olympic Games.
During the period when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for hegemony, there were many decisions that caused many participating countries not to participate due to political factors, but it is very rare for the Olympic Organizing Committee to directly prohibit the participation like this time.
With the addition of the Paris Olympics, Russia has missed out on a total of five Olympic Games.
However, according to the latest news, the International Olympic Organizing Committee has agreed to Russia's participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
On March 29, IOC President Thomas Bach announced that the IOC had reached a consensus and that the discussion had come to an end for the time being.
So what did Russia do to make the IOCOG lower its head, and will Russia continue to carry out this counterattack against the IOCOG?
Bidding farewell to the glory of the former Soviet Union, what did Russia rely on to win in this counterattack of influence with the Olympic Organizing Committee?
2. The BRICS Olympics
As we all know, Putin is a rare tough guy among world leaders, and his political style is very tough.
In the confrontation with the outside world, there are also frequent iron-blooded methods, and under his orders, Russia brazenly challenged the Olympic Organizing Committee.
With Putin's approval, Russia will set aside the Olympic Organizing Committee and host the Games from June 11 to June 23.
According to media disclosures, athletes from more than 60 countries will participate in this time, and this is the BRICS Games that have recently become popular on the Internet.
Founded in 2006 led by China and Russia, the BRICS has expanded from 4 countries to 11 countries after 18 years of development.
All of these countries play a pivotal role in the world's economic and political influence.
It is precisely with the influence of partner countries that Russia has the confidence and strength to hold a Games that can compete with it before the opening of the Olympic Games.
The impact of the Olympic Games is extremely far-reaching, with more than 200 countries and regions participating in each Olympic Games.
Russia's hosting of the Games this time is not only a demonstration of its influence, but also an opportunity for the BRICS countries to unite other developing countries in the world.
It can be said that compared with the desire to hold the pipa and half-cover the face of the Olympic Games, Russia directly demonstrated its political intentions in this Games.
The Organising Committee of the Olympic Games personally came out to criticize, and the World Anti-Doping Agency also took a very tough attitude.
He claimed that due to Russia's launch of the Russia-Ukraine war, sanctions would be imposed on the countries participating in the BRICS Games, and pointed out that Russia should not host such events.
It can be said that the comprehensive direction of the political direction of the IOC is bound to bring the Olympic Games, which have lasted for more than 100 years, to an end.
For the first time, the international sports scene will also be clearly divided by politics, and the BRICS Games are a blow from Russia to the IOCO.
Russia was able to survive in this confrontation, reshaping its influence in the world, and completely destroying the aura of the Olympic Games.
For the Games, Russia offered a high prize money as a reward.
It is believed that the successful holding of the BRICS Games will provide a new platform for athletes from all over the world.
In the future, the international sports scene will be further divided into two major sectors, one is the traditional sports led by the United States and the West, and the other is the sports leagues formed by emerging countries.
You must know that although the Olympic Games are a sport, they are also a rare exchange platform for countries around the world, which is conducive to resolving the contradictions and confrontations between major countries.
Russia's counterattack against the Olympic Organizing Committee is likely to completely intensify the contradictions between the participating countries and intensify the confrontation.
On the surface, Russia's actions are just a new mountain, so why does it have such an impact? The Olympic Organizing Committee even went so far as to personally sanction the participating countries and athletes?
3. The deep meaning behind it
You must know that there is never a simple struggle of righteousness between countries, and everything is done with careful consideration.
It seems that a fighting nation that does things roughly, but only brains, is actually doing a bold and careful thing.
First of all, as mentioned above, Russia's approval of the Games is to reinvigorate Russia's national image, demonstrate Russia's national influence to the world, and win international support.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to pull the banner and pull the BRICS countries into the chariot together.
It is undeniable that Russia's demonstration of influence to the West has been very successful.
At the same time, third world countries have also seen that Russia is still strong today, and the voice of the previous decline due to the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war can be re-improved.
The ban of the Olympic Organizing Committee directly put Russia on the opposite side of the world movement, and the formation of the BRICS Games can be regarded as a complete ice-breaking for the Russian movement.
The most important thing is that Russia can see who exactly is the country that can be fought for.
Previously, Russia and Ukraine went to war, and most countries in the world, except for major countries, maintained a neutral attitude towards this war.
Does the more than 60 participating countries now mean that they are potential targets for Russia?
When everyone recognizes their inner thoughts, the next step is to connect.
The International Olympic Organizing Committee did not expect that their ban would give Russia such a major result, and this move naturally made the Western countries standing behind them collectively lose their temper.
Maybe it's striking while the iron is hot, or maybe it's a political point out to the IOCOG.
Putin simply decided to rehost the World Friendship Games in September this year.
According to statistics, there are more countries participating in the Games, with a total of more than 5,000 participants, and a total of 100 million US dollars in prize money for 39 sports.
The Friendship Games will feature 208 subjects, and the top three will receive $40,000, $25,000 and $17,000 respectively.
Although the participating countries of this Games are not half of the Olympic Games, they are far ahead of France in terms of per capita rewards for participating venues.
This move will undoubtedly pull the light of the Olympic Games down the altar again.
When the Olympic Games are out of the shell of fairness and justice, what are the advantages of the Olympic Games compared with other events?
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in order to maintain their position, the Western Olympic organizing committee has readmitted Russian athletes despite the calls of Ukraine and other countries.
It's a pity that Russia's invitation has been sent, and although the contradictions between the Olympic Organizing Committee and Russia have disappeared, it is already a certainty that the Olympic Organizing Committee's golden body will be punctured.
When the status of the Olympics returns to its normal status, it may be able to improve due to political injustice.
According to Russian media disclosures, the BRICS Games will kick off in Kazan in June this year, and this year's BRICS Games will be the largest in history.
The BRICS Games and the Friendship Games are caught between each other, and perhaps everyone can see what the most depressing Olympic Games in history can be.
epilogue
What Russia has done this time has to be said to be a feat, and in the face of pressure from the world, the fighting nation still has not chosen to give in, and this willpower is very admirable.
It is foreseeable that, compared to the Olympic Games, the referees on the field will be able to appear fair and impartial in the two Russian Games this year, and the event personnel will be able to get the results they deserve.
Although the Russian Games have completely torn the fig leaf of Olympic sports without borders, it has also reshaped the basic concept of the Olympic Games to be faster, higher, stronger, fair and just.
In contrast, the Olympic Games in Russia turned out to be an opportunity to reshape the world Olympic sports scene.
Now that China has the National Games and Russia has the Friendship Games, the dilemma of not having a candidate country to host the Olympic Games may come early.
