论奥运会中的政治介入

On Political Infervention in Olympic Games

现代奥林匹克运动会是当今世界上规模最大、影响最广、层次最高的竞技体育赛事,它是为了促进全世界人民相互了解,缓解战争和提倡世界和平的世界性民众聚会。但是由于它自身的特点及其发展,从它诞生之日开始就成了各种政治力量利用的舞台,它虽力图超越政治但却无法摆脱政治对它的影响。

The modern Olympic Games are a top--class sports competition of the largest scale and greatest influence in today＇s world. It is a distinguished gathering meant for enhancing the mutual understanding between all the nations and maintaining world peace across the world. From the very beginning, however, its nature and development have predetermined the fact that it will become a stage manipulated by all the political powers. Hard as it has been trying to get rid of politics, it is still affected. The basic principles of the Olympic Games have been practically challenged ever since their foundation and politics prevails during the whole development process. Since Beijing became the host city of the 2008 Olympics, the international society is more concerned about the Olympics than it was ever before. Of course, Politics is the main reason. Where we like it or not, we can not deny the fact that the Beijing Olympics are at the same time ＂the Political Olympics＂. The political wrestle centered around the Beijing Olympics will go on and on. Through an analysis on the powers involved, the thesis is to illustrate how politics maneuvers its way into the Olympics. Moreover, suggested tactics will be proposed concerning how to handle the political pressure imposed on the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
