The Olympic mascot1). International Olympic mitteeThe International Olympic mittee (IOC) is an international corporation based in Lausanne, Switzerland, created by Pierre de Coubertin on 23 June 1894. Today its membership consists of the 205 National Olympic mittees.The International Olympic mittee (IOC) is responsible for selecting the host city, overseeing the planning of the Olympic Games, updating and approving the sports program, and negotiating sponsorship and broadcasting rights.2). The Olympic symbolThe Olympic symbol, better known as the Olympic rings, consists of five intertwined rings and represents the unity of the five inhabited continents (America, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe). The colored version of the rings—blue, yellow, black, green, and red—over a white field forms the Olympic flag. These colors were chosen because every nation had at least one of them on its national flag.3). The Olympic mottoThe Olympic motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius, a Latin expression meaning “Swifter, Higher, Stronger". Coubertin's ideals are further expressed in the Olympic creed:The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.4). The Olympic flameMonths before each Games, the Olympic flame is lit in Olympia in a ceremony that reflects ancient Greek rituals. A female performer, acting as a priestess, ignites a torch by placing it inside a parabolic mirror which focuses the sun's rays; she then lights the torch of the first relay bearer, thus initiating the Olympic torch relay that will carry the flame to the host city's Olympic stadium, where it plays an important role in the opening ceremony.5). The Olympic mascotThe Olympic mascot, an animal or human figure representing the cultural heritage of the host country, was introduced in 1968. It has played an important part on the Games identity promotion since the 1980 Summer Olympics, when the Russian bear cub Misha reached international stardom. The mascots of 2008 Summer Olympics, in Beijing, were the Fuwa, five creatures that represent the five fengshui elements important in Chinese culture.拓展训练The origin and development of the OlympicThe modern Olympic movement originated in Western culture, prevalent in the world, and has bee the spiritual civilization of mankind to share the results.Ancient Greece Olympia Village is a "god City", where leaders of Zeus built the temple gods.

During the Olympics a "sacred truce" and not use all weapons, to wage war.
