Chapter 322 The End of the Olympic Games and the Medal List
1The fifth Summer Olympics, the Sydney Olympics, was officially held in Sydney, the capital of Australasia. new
More than 3,500 athletes from 31 countries around the world attended the Olympic Games and participated in the opening ceremony.
According to statistics from the Australasian government, more than 50,000 spectators watched the opening ceremony of the Games, and there were more than 100,000 Australasians watching outside the stadium.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an event that attracts national attention. Around the world, many governments and tens of millions of people are paying attention to the Olympic Games.
Arthur was also present in person on this day and personally announced the official opening of the Olympic Games.
Arthur's arrival made the Australasians at the scene revel in excitement, and also allowed other people abroad to see how popular Arthur was in Australasia.
From the participants in the opening and closing ceremonies, it can be seen that the Australasian government attaches great importance to this Olympic Games.
Arthur himself delivered the opening address, and Prime Minister Kent will in future deliver the closing address.
More importantly, the first gold medal in the Olympic Games will be awarded by Arthur personally and recorded in the history of the Sydney Olympic Games.
You know, according to the announcement of the International Olympic Committee, all medals won in this Olympic Games will be recorded in history and officially recognized by the Olympic Committee.
This also means that the first gold medal in this Olympic Games can also be understood as the first officially recorded gold medal in the world. Its value and commemorative significance are naturally irreplaceable.
It is worth mentioning that even the Balkan countries, which are facing war, have sent a certain number of athletes to participate in the Olympic Games.
There are many countries participating in this Olympics for the first time, including Egypt, Luxembourg, Portugal, Syria, island countries, etc.
This has also allowed the number of athletes to participate in the Olympic Games to break the record. So far, the Sydney Olympic Games has the largest number of participants and the largest number of participating countries among the five Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games will last until the end of July. For Australasia, the two-month Olympic Games is one of the most important tasks of the government in recent times. new
According to conservative estimates, the Olympic Games attracted hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists to Australasia, which greatly promoted the development of Sydney and nearby cities.
But at the same time, a large number of foreign tourists have also brought serious troubles to the public security of these cities.
Since May, Arthur has ordered the public security department to recruit more police officers from other cities to maintain security in Sydney and nearby cities.
For such a grand event that attracts the world's attention, if the country is brought to shame because of Australasia's security problems, Arthur will never accept it.
After all, Arthur wants to use this Olympic Games to let all people around the world know about the country of Australasia and the living standards in Australasia.
This is of great help to the government in attracting immigrants, but it must not be undermined by some small problems.
Compared with the historical Stockholm Olympics, the overall process of the Sydney Olympics is shorter and the progress is much faster than in history.
Under Arthur's personal witness, in just over a month, track and field, swimming, cycling, shooting, gymnastics, wrestling, equestrian, fencing, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing, football and tennis were finally completed. A winner has been decided, which also means that the Olympic Games have come to an end.
The good news for Australasia is that each event in the Olympic Games has more than 30,000 spectators, and the number of viewers has set a new record.
Australasia has made preliminary statistics based on the number of tickets sold and the expected number of viewers. During the Olympic Games, a total of 2,433,251 tickets were sold, and the total number of people watching the Olympic Games was as high as 410,000. Regardless of the total number of tickets sold, The number of viewers has also reached a record high.
These more than 2.43 million votes created nearly 100,000 votes for Australasia. Coupled with the spending of these athletes and foreign tourists in Sydney, the government was surprised to find that it seemed that the cost of hosting the Olympics was not much.
Although the construction of the Australasian National Stadium cost a lot of money, the construction of the stadium is necessary and is also a demand brought about by sports development. New π .π²πΎπΌ
Taken together, hosting this Olympics is definitely worth the money. The Australasian government and royal family spent nearly 15 million Australian dollars on this Olympic Games.
At present, the money can be repaid by ticket revenue alone. Taking into account the popularity and influence this Olympic Games has brought to Australasia, the money spent is not a loss at all.
Arthur is even planning to wait until the end of World War I to see if there is a chance to host another Olympics.
Or organize some other sports events, anyway, you can still make money by selling tickets, and you can also find more entertainment facilities and activities for Australasians.
Thinking of this, Arthur already had the idea of ββorganizing a national games across Australasia.
However, the Olympic Games have just ended, and there is no need for another nationwide sports meeting to dominate.
In this Olympic Games, the competition at the sports level is still relatively fierce.
The current political implications of sports are not small, which also means that in sports competitions, athletes from various countries are under a certain amount of pressure, and they have even received instructions from their governments before setting off.
For these athletes, behind them are the expectations from the people of their own countries, as well as pressure from the government.

The best way is to win a gold medal, or defeat athletes from your rival country in a certain sports competition, so that you can have a better explanation to the people and the government.
Australasia announced the medal list for this Games, and the International Olympic Committee specifically announced that the number of medals won by each country in this Olympic Games will be recorded in history and recorded in the Olympic Games medal list.
This also means that those who have an advantage in medals in this Olympics will also have a certain advantage in the overall medal list of the Olympic Games.
As the host of this Olympic Games, Australasia naturally has an absolute advantage in the medal competition.
In the several sports competitions added to Australasia, those who won gold, silver and bronze medals were naturally Australasian athletes.
At this time, there is no rule that no country can win three gold, silver and bronze medals in one event. Australasia has the advantage of being a host and can naturally train for the newly added events in advance. It is natural to win all the medals.
In the medal list of the Sydney Olympics, as well as the overall medal list of the Olympic Games, Australasia has an absolute advantage, winning a total of 71 medals.
Among these 71 medals, there are 31 gold medals and 24 silver medals respectively. The number of 1 and 1 silver medals both ranks first in this Olympic Games, and the number of bronze medals ranks second in this Olympic Games.
Second on the medal list is the United States across the ocean. The Americans won a total of 3 gold medals, 1 medal. The Americans rank second in the world in gold and silver medals and first in bronze medals, and are second only to Australasia as the country with the most medals.
The third place in the medal list is naturally the British Empire, which is currently the world's largest power. Both emotionally and logically, it is impossible for the British Empire to fall into the top three. This is also the confidence and strength of the British Empire as the world's largest power.
The British Empire has won a total of 41 medals, with 10 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 1 ranking third in the world.
Fourth in the medal table is Finland, who won 2 medals.
The fifth place is France, with 7 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 3 bronze medals, for a total of 14 medals.
Sixth is Germany with 5 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 7 bronze medals, for a total of 25 medals.
In this Olympic Games, a total of 18 countries won medals, accounting for nearly half of the countries participating in the Olympic Games.
It is worth mentioning that all the powerful countries have won medals. Firstly, they do have a larger population and economy, and they can also develop sports at any cost.
Secondly, as a powerful country, unless they have become corrupt, otherwise they all have to get a medal.
The ranking rules for the medal table are very simple. Priority is given to ranking by the number of gold medals. Those with the same number of gold medals are ranked by the number of silver medals. Those with the same number of silver medals are ranked by the number of bronze medals.
Generally speaking, this Olympic Games is relatively fair, and the referees for various competition events are basically jointly provided by the International Olympic Committee and Australasia.
Australasia occupies the first place in the medal table and the total medal table, and other countries basically have no opinions.
After all, this can be regarded as a recognized benefit of hosting the Olympic Games. As the host of the Olympic Games, you can freely choose to add several new sports.
Generally speaking, the host of the Olympic Games will choose events that his country is good at, or even choose some events that are only available in his country. Under such circumstances, it is impossible not to win the first place in the medal list.
Naturally, many records were set in the Olympic Games. After all, with the development of sports, the training of athletes has become more formalized.
Countries are investing more and more in sports, which has also led to the athletes becoming better and better. It is natural for sports competitions to break records.
Of course, the real reason why many records were broken in this Olympics is because all the results of this Olympics will be recorded in the history of the Olympics.
Previous record breaking didn't even make news, but breaking the record at the Sydney Olympics will really be remembered in Olympic history.
Unless latecomers break the record again, the record-breakers of this Olympic Games will forever become the record holders, and along with the record itself, it will be remembered by mankind for decades.
The athletes also recognized the results of this Olympic Games. After all, this Olympic Games used relatively advanced electronic timing and end-point camera equipment. For these equipment, Australasia spent a lot of money.
This also makes the results of this Olympic Games, especially the results of track and field, more formal and accurate to 0.1 seconds.
This is also the real reason why the results of this Olympic Games will be officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee and recorded in history.
Under the dual technical support of electronic timing and end-point photography, it can be ensured that the results achieved by athletes are correct and there will be basically no deviations caused by humans.
