Olympic Games
Lots of people in the world are fond of sport, because it’s not only healthy, but also spectacular and exciting. For these reason people have started the Olympic Games. They have appeared in 776 BC in Ancient Greece, where people every four years held festivals to please the ancient God Zeus. Later on the Games have disappeared and were revived in the present era, in 1896. The first modern Olympics took place in the capital of Greece, Athens. The old tradition to hold the Games every four years was also revived. So, from then on the Olympic Games took place every four years in different cities of the world. At certain times, such as Second World War, the games were forbidden. The Olympic Games are considered to be the biggest international sports games, which unite people from all over the world. There are two types of Olympic Games: Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics. Ancient Greeks didn’t have Winter Games, so the first Winter Olympics were held in 1924 in France. The official emblem of the Olympic Games is a colourful flag with five interlinked rings. The colours of the rings are blue, red, yellow, green and black, because every country in the world has at least one of these colours on their national flag. Another idea sees in each colour a certain continent, for example, blue colour symbolizes Europe, yellow- Asia, red – America, black – Africa and green – Australia. The Olympic Games have been held in many countries, and Russia is no exception. In 1980 the 22nd Olympic Games took place in Moscow.Russian sportsmen got medals for their records in many sports events. In 2014 they took place in Sochi.
Olympic Games In Sochi 2014
There are many interesting and exciting events in our life, which help us to become better and to strive for self-culture. The Olympic Games are one of them. They have existed since ancient times and still remain the main event in the sporting life of our planet. The official motto of the Games is the Latin phrase “Citius, Altius, Fortius”, which means “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. The father of modern Olympic competition, Pierre de Coubertin, suggested this slogan. Since late 19th century every four years the whole world is thrilled to watch the Summer and Winter Games featuring the best athletes from different countries. I’m proud to say that 2014 Winter Olympics were held in Sochi. It’s one of the most beautiful Russian cities on the Black Sea coast. In July 2007 the International Olympic Committee held a conference in Guatemala, during which Sochi was chosen to host the 22nd Winter Olympic Games. More than 80 countries took part in this event. Some of the disciplines involved half-pipe skiing, mixed-team figure skating, biathlon mixed relay. Several new venues were built for these events, among them the Ice Cube Curling Center, the Shayba Arena, the Fischt Olympic Stadium. Apart from venues, there were a couple of spacious Olympic villages and the International broadcasting center. The official mascots of the event were a polar bear, a snow leopard and a hare. Being situated in subtropical zone, Sochi was declared to be the warmest city for Winter Olympics. The opening ceremony of the event took place on February 7th, 2014, and was said to be one of the most spectacular and impressive shows. The atmosphere during the Games was exciting. There were 98 events over 15 disciplines in 7 sports. According to the medal table Russian athletes won the highest number of medals. In total, they brought home 33 medals, including remarkable 13 golds. The closing ceremony took place at the Olympic Stadium on February 23, 2014. It was dedicated to Russian culture, music and arts.
