策划：《学生双语报》 background? 奥林匹克运动会是由国际奥林匹克委员会举办的多项目的世界性运动会，每四年举行一次。因起源于古希腊奥林匹亚而得名。古代奥运会从公元前776年到公元394年，共历经293届，后被罗马皇帝以邪教活动罪名而废止。1894年在巴黎召开的国际体育会议，根据法国贵族顾拜旦的倡议成立了国际奥委会，并决定恢复奥运会。现代第一届奥运会于1896年在希腊雅典举行，此后在世界各地轮流举行。由于1924年开始设立了冬季奥林匹克运动会，因此奥林匹克运动会习惯上又称为“夏季奥林匹克运动会”。奥林匹克运动会现在已经成为了和平与友谊的象征。根据国际奥委会章程规定，国际奥委会根据申请举办的城市的组织能力和财力，决定授予某申请城市举办下一届奥运会的权利。 What are the important elements(元素) of Olympic Games?
