Simulcast+｜ Not enough after watching the military parade？ The world military movement is coming.
[simulcast+]Recently, "News Network" reported the "Village Opening" ceremony of the Military Games Village, and 553 members of the China delegation became the first group to move in, which also marked that all the pre-competition preparations for the Wuhan Military Games were ready.
Athletes’ Village of Military Games
The 7th military world games held in China will be held in Wuhan from October 18th to 27th. The Wuhan Military Games will be attended by delegations from 110 countries. It will be the largest sports meeting with the largest number of participants and the most influential in the history of military world games.
The majestic National Day military parade is still fresh in my mind, and the news that the military games will be held soon brings our expectations into the sports field. But have you heard of this military world games, which is called the "Military Olympics"? Lianjun will take you to know.
"Wu" and "He" are the names of peace in military sports meetings.
Modern sports seems to be synonymous with peace and friendship. At the beginning of its birth, it was inextricably linked with war and soldiers. It prevailed in the ancient Olympic Games in ancient Greece. Athletes took soldiers as the main body, such as running, wrestling, mixed fighting, horse racing, chariot racing, pentathlon (sprint, long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, wrestling) and so on. Just listening to the names, they carried a certain military brand.
At that time, in order to allow athletes to participate in the four-year Olympic Games safely, the city-states agreed to suspend military operations during the Games. This is the famous "Olympic Truce". Thus, the ancient Olympic Games became a grand gathering for peace and friendship, which was independent of the war environment at that time.
In this way, sports has found a balance between the two contradictory human relations, namely "war" and "harmony". The birth of military world games is the product of human reflection on war and pursuit of peace. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the signing of the Charter of the United Nations, the first military world games was held in Rome, Italy, from September 4 to 16, 1995. At that time, 4,017 military athletes from 93 countries and regions participated in the competition and launched a competition without smoke.
On September 4th, 1995, the first military world games was held in Italy.
This is the first time in history that the armies of all countries in the world have gathered in a sports event in a peaceful environment, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. In 1995, countries around the world held a massive commemorative event. In order to celebrate the victory of the world anti-fascist war and the lasting peace brought by the founding of the United Nations, this tournament was praised as "a peace celebration with special significance in the history of the world military".
In 1999, the second military world games was assembled in the Balkan Peninsula, where the war had just stopped for less than two months. Soldiers from 82 countries gathered in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, to spread "peace" under the blazing flame.
On August 8, 1999, the second military world games was held in Croatia.
Who is the strongest in previous military games?
Like the Olympic Games, the military games are held every four years, but the participants are different: the athletes participating in the military games are all active soldiers from all countries; The project settings are different: there are comprehensive Olympic events, military pentathlon, navy pentathlon, air force pentathlon, orienteering and skydiving.
Soldiers are born to be half athletes, do not hold weapons, and the sports competition between them is still full of firepower.
The Russian delegation won the first military games with 62 gold medals, 28 silver medals and 37 bronze medals, and Russian swimmer Dennis pankratov was named the best athlete in this military games. The host Italian military sports delegation won 22 gold medals, 16 silver medals and 13 bronze medals, ranking second in the medal list.
Our army sent a delegation of 191 people, including shooting star Xu Haifeng and swimming world record holder He Cihong, and won 13 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 15 bronze medals, ranking third. The first appearance of our military athletes on the international military arena made the world sit up and take notice.
After that, the top four gold medals in previous military games were ranked as follows:
2nd session: Russian, China, Italian and Croatian (hosts)
The 3rd session: Russia, China, Italy (host country), Ukraine.
The 4th session: Russian, China, German, Italian.
5th session: Brazil (host country), China, Italy and Poland.
6th: Russia, Brazil, China, South Korea (host)
On the whole, Russia has outstanding strength, ranking first in the first four sessions, not participating in the fifth session for some reason, and dominating the sixth session with great advantages. China won the second place in four sessions and the third place in two sessions, ranking second only to Russian. Italy was in the top four in the first five sessions, close to China, and fell to the eighth in the sixth session. Brazil’s first four sessions were unknown, and the fifth session won the championship with the benefit of the host country without Russia’s participation; However, the sixth session can still be ahead of China, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Just like the name of the torch of the Wuhan Military Games-"Glory of Peace", soldiers from all over the world gather here to pursue glory, ignite dreams and convey "peace, development and friendship" through sports.
