歷屆奧運會回顧：1924年巴黎奧運會

1924年巴黎奧運會首次引入了“更快、更高、更強”（Citius, Altius, Fortius）的奧林匹克格言，并在閉幕式上首次進行了升旗儀式，會場上同時升起了國際奧委會、本屆奧運會主辦國和下屆奧運會主辦國的國旗。同時，中國有3名網球選手參加了這屆奧運會的網球比賽，但預賽時即被淘汰。盡管他們是在澳大利亞參加“戴維斯杯網球賽”后自行去參賽的，但這卻是中國人首次出現在奧運會的賽場上。

PARIS  1924 Games of the VIII Olympiad

　　At the 1924 Paris Games, the Olympic motto, "Citius, Altius, Fortius", (Swifter, Higher, Stronger) was introduced, as was the Closing Ceremony ritual of raising three flags: the flag of the International Olympic Committee, the flag of the host nation and the flag of the next host nation. The number of participating nations jumped from 29 to 44, signaling widespread acceptance of the Olympics as a major event, as did the presence of 1,000 journalists.

　　Women's fencing made its debut as Ellen Osiier of Denmark earned the gold medal without losing a single bout. Johnny Weissmuller of the United States won two gold medals in swimming on 20 July alone. That same day he earned a bronze medal in water polo. He later went to Hollywood and starred as Tarzan in twelve movies. American swimmer Gertrude Ederle won a bronze medal in the 100m freestyle.

　　Two years later she caused a sensation by becoming the first woman to swim across the English Channel (La Manche) - and in a time almost two hours faster than any man had ever achieved. Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi, won five gold medals to add to the three he had won in 1920. His most spectacular performance occurred on 10 July. First he easily won the 1,500m. Then, a mere 55 minutes later, he returned to the track and won the 5,000m. Nurmi’s teammate, Ville Ritola, did not do badly either in 1924: he won four gold medals and two silver.

Do You Know? 哪位奧運冠軍竟是日后的“人猿泰山”？
