##咖啡的香气氤氲在塞纳河畔, the golden sun shines on the river, sparkling waves, and not far away, the Eiffel Tower stands quietly, like an elegant lady, witnessing the city's centennial glory
At the riverside café, people talk in whispers and look to the river, where richly decorated pleasure boats are slowly approaching, with colorful flags fluttering and music fluttering in the wind, decorating the city with special festivity
The slogan "Centennial Olympic Dream Returns to Paris" is everywhere, reminding people what a special moment it is
Imagine the Olympics on the banks of the Seine
Paris, the romantic capital, has never lacked grandeur and splendour, but this time, when the Olympic flame was lit again in the city, people still felt an unprecedented enthusiasm and anticipation
Unlike the previous opening ceremonies held in stadiums, this time, Paris chose to move the stage to the Seine, a six-kilometer waterway that turned into a flowing stage, carrying history, culture and dreams, slowly flowing in front of the world's eyes
Ancient bridges, majestic buildings, and welcoming citizens make up a flowing picture that shows the unique charm of Paris to the fullest, while the athletes who sail slowly by on a pleasure boat are like messengers from all over the world, with friendships and dreams, gathered on this river that has witnessed countless histories
"Moving the opening ceremony to the Seine was such a bold and romantic idea!" A tourist from Brazil excitedly said, "This is not only a sporting event, but also a feast of culture and art, which makes people feel like they are in a fantastic movie."
The picture comes from the Internet
The 100-year Olympic dream returns to Paris
As one of the origins of the modern Olympic Games, Paris has an indissoluble bond with the Olympic Games, and in 1900, Paris successfully hosted the second Summer Olympic Games, becoming the first France city to host the Olympic Games, which also opened the city's century-old relationship with the Olympics
A century later, when the Olympic flame returned to Paris, the city had changed dramatically, but what remained unchanged was the love of sport and the Olympic spirit
This time, Paris chose to interpret its own understanding of the Olympics in a new way, and the move of the opening ceremony to the Seine was not only a bold innovation, but also a reflection of Parisians' respect for history and vision for the future
"The Seine is the soul of Paris and a witness to the city's history," said an elderly France man standing by the river, looking at the slowly passing cruise ship with pride in his eyes, "hosting the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games here not only shows the world the beauty of Paris, but also shows our inheritance of the Olympic spirit."
The intersection of city and sport
Large-scale sports events are never only a sports event, but also a stage for the city to show its charm
The Paris Olympic Games arranged many sports in the city's historic buildings, allowing sports, culture and history to complement each other, giving this event a more profound connotation
When badminton players compete at the Invalides, when beach volleyball collides passionately under the Eiffel Tower, when equestrian competitions are elegantly staged at the Palace of Versailles, sports are no longer cold competitions, but become a cultural symbol, integrated into the fabric of the city, in dialogue with history, and symbiotic with the future
The picture comes from the Internet
And this kind of integration of city and sports was also presented in the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games
That year, Guangzhou took the Pearl River as the stage and the city as the background to turn the opening ceremony of the Asian Games into a flowing feast, on both sides of the Pearl River, the ancient and the modern are intertwined, the East and the West are blended, showing the unique charm of this thousand-year-old commercial capital
From Paris to Guangzhou, different cities and different cultures share the same pursuit: to make sports a new driving force for urban development, and let the Olympic spirit illuminate the future of the city
Sport changes lives
The slogan "Sport changes lives" was best interpreted at the Paris Olympics
Sports is not only a competition, but also a way of life, a kind of spiritual strength, it can strengthen the body, can hone the will, can unite people's hearts, can change the spiritual outlook of a city
The Paris Olympics not only provided a wonderful sports feast to the world, but also injected new vitality into the city of Paris
The construction of new stadiums, the improved infrastructure of the city, and the enhancement of the city's image will all inject new impetus into the future development of Paris
More importantly, the spirit of hard work, teamwork and fair competition advocated by the Olympic Games will inspire more people to participate in sports, so that sports can truly be integrated into life and become a habit and a fashion
The picture comes from the Internet
And this is perhaps the most valuable legacy left by the Olympics to a city
