Going Back to Its Birthplace
No sporting event takes hold of the world’s attention and imagination like the Olympic Games. The football World Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America)baseball’s World Series is required viewing in North America; and the World Table Tennis Championships attracts the most interest in Asia.
But the Olympics belong to the whole world. Now, after travelling to 17 countries over 108 years, the summer Games are returning to Athens, the place where the first modern Olympics was held.
Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement, but also as an honor. The 16 days between August 13 and 29 will see a record-202 countries compete, up from Sydney’s 199. Afghanistan is back, having been banned from Sydney because the Taliban government didn’t let women do sports. There is also a place for newcomers East Timer and Kiribati.
A total of 10,500 athletes will compete in 28 sports, watched by 53 million ticket-paying viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.
Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as possible. The Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and Acropolis monuments. The final event will be a historic men’s marathon following the original route run by Phidippides in 490 B. C. to bring news of victory over the Persians.
The ancient stadium at Olympia, first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago, will stage the shot put competitions. And the Panathenian Stadium, where the first modern Olympics was held, is to host the archery(射箭)events.
If the well-known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games, the 39 new venues add a modern touch to the city of Athens. The main Olympic stadium, with a giant glass and steel roof, is the landmark(标志)building of the Olympics.
"We believe that we will organize a ’magical’ Games. " said Athens 2004 President Gianna Angelopoulos Daskalaki. "Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly 3,000 years, and Athens 2004 could be the best ever. "
