2. As the main residence of athletes and delegation members from all countries and regions, the Olympic Village undertakes accommodation, catering, entertainment and leisure services for all athletes and officials of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and is also a place where athletes from all countries and regions gather for international exchanges and get-together activities.
According to the Olympic Charter, the location of the Olympic Village should be near the main stadium and driving range. The organizing committee of the Olympic Games shall bear all catering and transportation expenses for athletes and officials in the Olympic Village.
During the Olympic Games, thousands to 20,000 athletes and officials from different countries and regions lived in the Olympic Village, which can be said to be a veritable small "United Nations". The Olympic Village of each Olympic Games will become one of the important standards to measure the perfection of the event, so the Olympic Village also has the reputation of "the first village in the world".
Every delegation must hold a ceremony to enter the Olympic Village. In the early Olympic Games, athletes and officials from various countries were scattered in hotels, which was not conducive to the organization of the Olympic Games and the communication between athletes from various countries. The 8th Olympic Games was held in Paris from 65438 to 0924. For the first time, the organizers concentrated the participants in a specially built wooden house, which was the earliest Olympic Village. During the Los Angeles 1932 Olympic Games, the city specially built a comprehensive building for athletes and official staff to live not far from the main stadium. Since then, this practice has become a tradition, and it is stipulated in Article 42 of the Olympic Charter: "In order to make all athletes, officials and other staff live together, the Olympic Organizing Committee shall provide an Olympic village for them to stay at least two weeks before the opening ceremony and three days after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games."
6. The Olympic Village is a place where athletes participating in the Olympic Games can stay. When the 8th Olympic Games was held in Paris, France from 65438 to 0924, the French specially built a row of wooden houses for the athletes in the stadium, which was the embryonic form of the Olympic Village. 1932 At the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the United States built a special dormitory for all the contestants and staff for the first time, which was later called the "Olympic Village". This successful experience has attracted the attention of the International Olympic Committee. Later, the International Olympic Committee clearly stipulated in the Olympic Charter that the host country should provide good special accommodation for male and female athletes so that athletes and sports team officials can live together. The location of the Olympic Village should be near the main stadium and driving range.
7. The Olympic Village shall meet the requirements of the Instructions for the Olympic Village formulated by the IOC Executive Board. The number of officials and other staff living in the Olympic Village shall be decided by the IOC Executive Board and shall not exceed 50% of the registered athletes. The location of the Olympic Village should be near the main stadium and driving range. It is stipulated in the Olympic Games that there must be restaurants, hospitals, shops and cultural and entertainment centers as auxiliary facilities.
8. 1952 When the China Olympic delegation arrived in Angel Hinji, the Olympic Games was drawing to a close, but a solemn flag-raising ceremony was still being held in the Olympic Village. This is the first time that the five-star red flag appeared in the Olympic Games.
