The ill-fated Tokyo Olympics is about to begin. As usual, in order to take care of the host country, the Olympic Committee can add some projects that are beneficial to the host country. Five new events have been added to the Tokyo Olympics this time.
In August 2016, the International Olympic Committee Plenary Session voted to include skateboarding, surfing, competitive rock climbing, baseball and softball, and karate in five major sports into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Among these five projects, Japan has considerable advantages in baseball, softball and karate, especially karate. There are 8 gold medals in karate at the Tokyo Olympics.
What is gratifying is that these five projects have also added new gold points for China.
The real Olympic Games in my mind began with the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. This was the first Olympic Games after the end of the Cold War. The Olympic Games truly became a grand event on the five continents.
The International Olympic Committee can not only add new competition events, but also cancel some competition events. Let’s take a look at the events that were added to the previous Olympic Games before 1992 and were later canceled.
The first Olympic Games (1896)
April 6-15, 1896.
13 countries participated.
This Olympic Games has 9 major events: track and field, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, cycling, Greco-Roman wrestling, gymnastics, fencing, and tennis.

has undergone great expansion for this Olympic Games. There are 60 competitions recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and the unofficial number is as high as 8 and 82
. The newly added cricket , jai alai , rugby and other competitions in this Olympics have been cancelled. . Mainly because these projects are not global and their popularity is too narrow.
However, there was one competition that was very popular, but was later cancelled. This is the famous tug-of-war. The main reason for the tug-of-war is that the viewing experience is not that good.
There was also an older sport, croquet (also called croquet), which was also later cancelled.
In addition, the shooting in this Olympics is also different from others. The targets of shooting in this Olympics are real pigeons.
The 1904 St. Louis Olympic Games

This year, China participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. A total of three people were sent. The only athlete is Liu Changchun. Due to insufficient preparation and acclimatization, I was unable to perform to my expected level.
If there is a game in the United States, there must be rugby. However, the popularity of rugby is too low. This kind of project is not suitable for inclusion in the Olympic Games.

Due to being late, when the 40-member New China delegation arrived in Helsinki, the conference had already been held for 10 days, so they could only catch up with one men's swimming competition and the final closing ceremony.
The 1956 Melbourne Olympics
took place from November 22 to December 8, 1956. There were 72 participating countries and regions. The first Olympic Games were held in Oceania.
This Olympic Games has broken the peace after World War II. Because of its stance of splitting China, New China withdrew.
The struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony led to the withdrawal of many of the younger brothers in these two countries. The Olympic Games have since become a plaything under the control of the United States and the Soviet Union.
The 1960 Rome Olympic Games
August 25-September 11, 1960. 83 countries and regions participated.

The 1980 Moscow Olympics
From July 19 to August 3, 1980, only 81 members participated.
Due to protests against the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, the United States took the lead in boycotting the event, resulting in a sharp decline in participating countries. Some countries only send one flag bearer to participate, and the flag they hold is the Olympic flag, not their own national flag. The New Zealand delegation even flew a black five-ring flag. Only 66 countries and regions have displayed their national flags.
Originally, China had restored its legal status in 1979. However, in order to maintain the Olympic spirit , the Chinese Olympic Committee gave up the opportunity to participate.
The Soviet Union also won 80 gold medals at the Olympic Games.

As the Soviet Union, the Democratic Republic of Germany and some other Eastern European countries returned to the Olympics, competition intensified, resulting in China's number of gold medals being only 5, less than 15 in 1984. Ranked 11th on the medal list.
The five gold medals are:
Louyun: Vault
Gao Min: Springboard. Gao Min is China's first-generation diving queen. Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing are all juniors.
Xu Yanmei : Platform
Chen Longcan /Wei Qingguang: Table Tennis Men's Doubles
Chen Jing : Table Tennis Women's Singles. You can search for more information about Chen Jing. She is an athlete with a story.
In this Olympic Games, South Korea has two table tennis gold medals, namely Liu Nankui 's men's singles and women's doubles. Although table tennis is a national sport, it was not until this century that it established itself as the king in men's singles. In addition to Liu Nankui, Waldner also won the gold medal in the 1992 Olympic Games. In the 2004 Olympic Games, South Korea's Ryu Seung-min won the gold medal.
Lao Wa is so powerful. He beat the Chinese Legion into a loss of temper at that time, including the fat man Liu Guoliang who doesn't understand football now. Lao Wa is the first male Grand Slam player in the history of table tennis. As for Ryu Seung-min, I personally feel that he is not strong enough and has more luck.
South Korea won 12 gold medals this year. Ranked fourth after the Soviet Union, East Germany, and the United States. Koreans always perform exceptionally well in their own country.
992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain (25th session) July 25-August 9, 1992. 169 countries and regions participated.
This is the first Olympic Games after the Cold War.
For the first time, baseball and badminton were added as official events in this Olympic Games. However, the mass base of baseball and softball is not good and is only concentrated in North America and East Asia. This led to the 2005 Olympic Committee's decision to no longer include baseball and softball in the 012 London Olympics .
Although this year's Tokyo Olympics has revived this event, it probably won't last long. It may end up like judo and be canceled next time.
Although the Soviet Union disintegrated, the name CIS appeared on the medal list, that is, the former Soviet Union countries formed a coalition to participate in the Olympic Games. The CIS won 45 gold medals in this Olympic Games, ranking first.
China won 16 gold medals at the Olympic Games, ranking fourth after the CIS, the United States, and Germany.
996 Atlanta Olympic GamesJuly 19-August 4, 1996. 197 countries and regions participated, and all members of the Olympic Committee participated. It is exactly a hundred years since the first Olympic Games.
My Olympic memory started from this session. During the summer vacation, I spent time watching TV with my mother at home.
This Olympic Games is also the pinnacle of the United States. When the boxing champion Ali suffering from Parkinson's disease lit the cauldron, history recorded the last highlight moment of the United States.
The United States won 44 gold medals in this Olympic Games, ranking first. Without the CIS, Russia competed alone, ranking second with 26 gold medals. Germany is third with 20 gold medals. China is fourth with 16 gold medals, the same as the previous one.
This Olympic Games has made us remember the Oriental Sacred Deer Wang Junxia wearing the national flag. From then on, after victory, it became fashionable to wear a rainbow.
In this session, women's volleyball, women's softball, and women's football all received silver medals.The women's volleyball team really can't beat Cuba, which won gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games in 1992, 1996, and 2000. Both women's soccer and women's softball have penalty factors, and those who lose are not convinced.
2000 Sydney Olympics
2000 September 15th - 2000 October 1st. 199 countries and regions participated.
This was originally an Olympic Games for China. We lost by two votes.
On January 22, 1999, a huge scandal broke out in the Olympic bid bribery. Australian Olympic Committee Chairman John Kauz admitted that on the eve of voting for the host city of the 2000 Olympic Games, he gave two African members of the International Olympic Committee a total of $70,000 cash.
It's a pity that the done thing is done, and it will be a mistake to make a mistake.
China won 28 gold medals in this Olympic Games and ranked third in the medal list, second only to the United States and Russia.
There are too many memories in this Olympic Games. What I remember most is the girls in the women’s football team. Because the football match starts before the Olympic Games opening ceremony. Therefore, the girls from the women's football team were not able to visit the main venue in Sydney. The girls are waiting for the finals to go to the venue. As a result, he was eliminated early and passed over Sydney on a plane. Everyone said they were going to the Sydney Olympics, but the women’s football girls had never been to Sydney.
2000 does not belong to China, so let the world wait a few more years.
004 Athens Olympic GamesThe Olympic Games are back in Athens. It is a pity that Athens failed to successfully bid for the 1996 Olympic Games. After all, the centenary is the most commemorative.
August 13-29, 2004, 201 countries and regions participated.
The modern Olympic Games are not something that just any country can apply to host. Even the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Due to limited national resources, some venues were not completed until the start of the competition. Diving competitions can only be held on missing days.
This Olympic Games is China’s preparation and training.
This Olympic Games has allowed us to focus on Liu Xiang.
If I say, what I remember most is not Liu Xiang, but Li Ting and Sun Tiantian .
Tennis doubles gold medal. For the first time in the history of tennis, a Chinese name has been so deeply engraved on it. Before the game, even though they were optimistic about these two players, no one was optimistic about the entire Chinese tennis team. My mother and I stayed up late to watch this game. It was already early in the morning when I finished reading. The two dark horses were unexpected. Indeed, heavy training makes these two girls look less fair.
We won 32 gold medals in this Olympic Games, second only to the United States' 35 gold medals.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games (29th session)
html will be held from August 8th to August 24th, with 204 participating countries and regions.
Everything is like yesterday. China won 51 gold medals, ranking first.
’s only regret: Wushu failed to become an official event in the Olympic Games.
The peak in Olympic history.
The Olympic Games in my heart have also ended.
The 2012 London Olympics
July 27, 2012 - August 12, 2012. 205 countries and regions participated.
China has 38 gold medals, ranking second. The United States ranks first with 46.
After Beijing, this Olympic Games can only look dull.
The 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games

The Olympic Games were held in South America for the first time.
China has 26 gold medals, ranking third behind the United States with 46 gold medals and the United Kingdom with 27 gold medals.

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
Good luck to Tokyo.
