Short Stories About Olympic Knowledge

Olympic sports: At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 28 major events and sub-events will remain unchanged. We are now three years away from the 2008 Olympic Games, and the competition events are basically determined. So, how are the Olympic events divided? According to the information of the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic Games events are divided as follows: major events (SPORT), sub-events (DISCIPINES) and minor events (EVENT). Like the Athens Olympics, the Beijing Olympics has 28 events: track and field, rowing, badminton, softball, basketball, football, boxing, canoeing, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, weightlifting, handball, hockey, judo, wrestling, water sports, modern pentathlon, baseball, equestrian, taekwondo, tennis, table tennis, shooting, archery, triathlon, sailing, windsurfing and volleyball. Among them, some projects have no sub-items, and the water sports with the most sub-items include swimming, synchronized swimming, water polo and diving. Although track and field does not have separate events, it does have 46 events, including 24 events for men and 22 events for women. It has the most gold medals among Olympic events. Next is swimming. Although there are no sub-items, there are 32 events, 16 for men and women each. International Olympic Committee President Rogge said that martial arts will appear as a competition event in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and its full name is "Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Wushu Competition." Rogge made the above remarks while attending the opening ceremony of the 10th China National Games in Nanjing. He said that although the Wushu competition is different from the other 28 major events in the Olympic Games, this is after all a major breakthrough for Wushu to enter the Olympic stage. ========================================================================================= The 29th Olympic Games Opening date: August 8, 2008 Closing date: August 24, 2004 Hosting location: Beijing, China The 28th Olympic Games Opening date: August 13, 2004 Closing date: August 29, 2004 Hosting location: Athens, Greece The 27th Olympic Games Opening date: July 19, 2000 Closing date: August 4, 2000 Host location: Sydney, Australia The 26th Olympic Games Opening date: July 19, 1996 Closing date: August 4, 1996 Hosting location: Atlanta, USA The 25th Olympic Games Opening date: July 25, 1992 Closing date: August 9, 1992 Hosting location: Barcelona, Spain The 24th Olympic Games Opening date: September 17, 1988 Closing date: October 2, 1988 Hosting location: Seoul, South Korea The 23rd Olympic Games Opening date: July 28, 1984 Closing date: August 12, 1984 Hosting location: Los Angeles, USA The 22nd Olympic Games Opening date: July 19, 1980 Closing date: August 3, 1980 Host location: Moscow, Soviet Union The 21st Olympic Games Opening date: July 17, 1976 Closing date: August 1, 1976 Hosting location: Montreal, Canada The 20th Olympic Games Opening date: August 26, 1972 Closing date: September 11, 1972 Hosting location: Munich, Germany The 19th Olympic Games Opening date: October 12, 1968 Closing date: October 27, 1968 Hosting location: Mexico City The 18th Olympic Games Opening date: October 10, 1964 Closing date: October 24, 1964 Hosting location: Tokyo, Japan The 17th Olympic Games Opening date: August 25, 1960 Closing date: September 11, 1960 Hosting location: Rome, Italy The 16th Olympic Games Opening date: November 22, 1956 Closing date: December 8, 1956 Host location: Melbourne, Australia The 15th Olympic Games, opening date: July 19, 1952, closing date: August 3, 1952, venue: Helsinki, Finland The 14th Olympic Games, opening date: July 29, 1948, closing date: August 14, 1948, venue: London, UK The 13th Olympic Games London (suspended due to World War II) The 12th Olympic Games: Tokyo first, then Helsinki (suspended due to World War II) The 11th Olympic Games Opening date: August 1, 1936 Closing date: August 16, 1936 Hosting location: Berlin, Germany The 10th Olympic Games Opening date: July 30, 1932 Closing date: August 14, 1932 Hosting location: Los Angeles, USA The 9th Olympic Games Opening date: May 17, 1928 Closing date: August 12, 1928 Hosting location: Amsterdam, Netherlands The Eighth Olympic Games Opening date: May 4, 1924 Closing date: July 27, 1924 Hosted in: Paris, France The Seventh Olympic Games Opening Date: April 20, 1920 Closing Date: September 12, 1920 Hosting Location: Antwerp, Belgium The Sixth Olympic Games Berlin (suspended due to World War I) The Fifth Olympic Games Opening Date: May 5, 1912 Closing Date: July 27, 1912 Hosting Location: Stockholm, Sweden The Fourth Olympic Games Opening Date: April 27, 1908 Closing Date: October 31, 1908 Hosted in: London, England The Third Olympic Games Opening Date: July 1, 1904 Closing Date: November 23, 1904 Hosting Location: St. Louis, USA The Second Olympic Games opened on May 14, 1900, closed on October 28, 1900, and took place in Paris, France.
