】一.复习旧知奥林匹克运动会奥林匹克运动会（简称奥运会）(Olympic Games /ào lín pǐ kè yùn dòng huì) 是国际奥林匹克委员会主办的包含多种体育运动项目的国际性运动会，每4年1届，分为夏季奥运会（俗称“奥运会”）和冬季奥运会（俗称“冬奥会”）等。

奥林匹克运动会起源于古希腊，因举办地在奥林匹亚而得名。

1896年现代奥运会第一次在希腊雅典举办。

2008年，在中国举行了第29届奥林匹克运动会。

现国际奥委会主席是巴赫。

奥林匹克运动是在奥林匹克主义指导下，以体育运动和四年一度的奥林匹克庆典——奥运会为主要活动内容，促进人的生理、心理和社会道德全面发展，沟通各国人民之间的相互了解，在全世界普及奥林匹克主义，维护世界和平的国际社会运动。

奥林匹克运动包括以奥林匹克主义为核心的思想体系，以国际奥委会、国际单项体育联合会和各国奥委会为骨干的组织体系和以奥运会为周期的活动体系。

1894年6月23日，当顾拜旦与12个国家的79名代表决定成立国际奥委会、开创奥林匹克运动时，这一壮举曾一度成为人们讽刺的对象。

而在百年之后的今天，奥运会已成为普天同庆的节日，奥林匹克运动也吸引了202个国家和地区的积极参与。

1998年，著名的《生活》杂志刊载了历史学家精选的过去千年中最重要的1000个事件和人物，1896年顾拜旦恢复奥运会的壮举也跻身其中，被誉为千年盛事之一。

奥林匹克运动是人类社会的一个罕见的杰作，它将体育运动的多种功能发挥得淋漓尽致，影响力远远超出了体育的范畴，在当代世界的政治、经济、哲学、文化、艺术和新闻媒介等诸多方面产生了一系列不容忽视的影响。

奥林匹克运动不仅构成了现代社会所特有的体育文化景观，以其特有的文化魅力愉悦人们的身心，更以其强烈的人文精神催人奋进，生生不已。

奥林匹克运动是时代的产物，工业革命大大扩展了世界各民族之间在经济、政治和文化等方面的联系，各国交往日益密切，迫切需要以各种沟通手段来加强国际间的相互了解。

奥林匹克运动正是为适应这种社会需要而出现的，是人类社会发展到一定阶段的必然产物。
