Chapter 322 The End of the Olympics and the Medal Table
On June 1912, 6, the fifth Summer Olympic Games, the Sydney Olympic Games, was officially held in Sydney, the capital of Australasia.

To participate in the Olympic Games, more than 31 athletes from 3500 countries all over the world were present and participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held on June 6.

According to statistics from the Australasian government, more than [-] spectators watched the opening ceremony of the games, and there were more than [-] Australasians outside the stadium.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a grand event with national attention.Around the world, governments of many countries and tens of millions of people are paying attention to the Olympic Games.

Arthur also came to the scene in person on this day and personally announced the official opening of the Olympic Games.

The arrival of Arthur made the Australasians at the scene revel, and let other people abroad see how popular Arthur is in Australasia.

From the participants in the opening and closing ceremonies, it can be seen that the Australasian government attaches great importance to this Olympic Games.

Arthur delivered the opening address himself, and in the future the Prime Minister of Kent will deliver the closing address.

More importantly, the first gold medal in the Olympic Games will be promulgated by Arthur himself, and it will be recorded in the history of the Sydney Olympic Games.

You know, according to the announcement of the International Olympic Committee, all the medals won in this Olympic Games will be recorded in history and officially recognized by the Olympic Committee.

This also means that the first gold medal of this Olympic Games can also be understood as the world's first officially recorded gold medal, and its value and commemorative significance are naturally irreplaceable.

It is worth mentioning that even the Balkan countries facing the flames of war have sent a certain number of athletes to participate in the Olympic Games.

Many countries participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, including Egypt, Luxembourg, Portugal, Syria, island countries and so on.

This also allowed the number of athletes participating in the Olympic Games to break the record. So far, the Sydney Olympic Games has the largest number of participants and the largest number of participating countries among the five Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games will last until the end of July. For Australasia, the two-month Olympic Games is one of the most important tasks of the government in recent times.

According to conservative estimates, the Olympic Games attracted hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists to Australasia, which greatly promoted the development of Sydney and nearby cities.

But at the same time, a large number of foreign tourists have also brought serious troubles to the security of these cities.

Since May, Arthur has ordered the security department to recruit more police officers from other cities to maintain law and order in Sydney and nearby cities.

Arthur would absolutely not accept such a grand event that the whole world was paying attention to, if it brought shame to the country because of the public security problems in Australasia.

After all, Arthur wanted to use this Olympic Games to let all people in the world know about the country of Australasia and the living standards of Australasia.

This is of great help to the government in attracting immigrants, but it must not be undermined by some minor problems.

Compared with the Stockholm Olympics in history, the overall process of the Sydney Olympics this time is shorter, and the progress is much faster than in history.

Under Arthur's personal witness, it took just over a month for track and field, swimming, cycling, shooting, gymnastics, wrestling, equestrianism, fencing, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing, football and tennis. There is a winner, which also means that the Olympic Games has come to an end.

The good news for Australasia is that the audience for each event in this Olympic Games was more than 3 people, and the number of viewers set a new record.

Australasia has made preliminary statistics based on the number of tickets sold and the number of viewers expected. During the Olympic Games, a total of 2433251 tickets were sold, and the total number of people watching the Olympic Games was as high as 41. Regardless of the total number of tickets sold, Or the number of viewers has created a record high.

These more than 243 million tickets generated nearly 600 million Australian dollars in revenue for Australasia.Coupled with the consumption of these athletes and foreign tourists in Sydney, the government was surprised to find that it seemed that the cost of hosting the Olympic Games was not much.

Although the construction of the Australasian National Stadium has cost a lot of money, the construction of the stadium is a must, and it is also a demand brought about by the development of sports.

On the whole, hosting this Olympic Games is definitely worth the money.The Australasian government and royal family have spent nearly A$1500 million on the Games.

At present, only 600 million Australian dollars has been recovered from the income from tickets. If you count the popularity and influence brought to Australasia by this Olympic Games, the money spent is not a loss at all.

Even Arthur is already planning to wait until the end of World War I to see if there is a chance to host another Olympic Games.

Or organize some other sporting event, which can still make money from selling tickets anyway, and can also find more entertainment facilities and activities for Australasians.

Thinking of this, Arthur already had the idea of ​​organizing a national sports meeting across Australasia.

However, the Olympic Games have just ended, and there is no need for another nationwide sports meeting to overwhelm the guests for the time being.

In terms of this Olympic Games, the competition at the sports level is still relatively fierce.

The current sports politics means a lot, which also means that in terms of sports competitions, athletes from various countries have a certain amount of pressure, and they have even received instructions from their own governments before they set off.

For these athletes, behind them are the expectations from the people of their own country, as well as the pressure from the government.

The best way is to win a gold medal, or defeat an athlete from a hostile country in a certain sports competition, in order to have a better account for the people and the government.

Australasia issued a medal list for this Games, and the International Olympic Committee specially announced that the number of medals won by each country in this Olympic Games will be recorded in history and recorded in the Olympic Games medal list.

This also means that those who have an advantage in medals in this Olympic Games will also occupy a certain advantage in the overall medal list of the Olympic Games.

As the host of the Olympic Games, Australasia naturally has an absolute advantage in the medal competition.

Australasia has added several sports competitions, and the gold medals, silver medals and bronze medals are naturally all athletes from Australasia.

At this time, there is no rule that a country cannot win three medals of gold, silver and bronze in one event. Australasia has the advantage of being the host country, so it can naturally train in advance for the newly added events, and it is only natural to win all the medals.

In the medal table of the Sydney Olympic Games, which is also the overall medal table of the Olympic Games, Australasia occupies an absolute advantage, winning a total of 71 medals.

Among the 71 medals, there are 31 gold medals, 24 silver medals and 16 bronze medals.Among them, the number of gold medals and silver medals ranks first in this Olympic Games, and the number of bronze medals ranks second in this Olympic Games.

The second place in the medal table is the United States on the other side of the ocean.The Americans won a total of 61 medals, with 23 gold, 19 silver and 19 bronze.The number of gold medals and silver medals of the Americans ranks second in the world, and the number of bronze medals ranks first in the world. It is second only to Australasia and the country with the most medals.

The third place in the medal table is naturally the British Empire, which is currently the world's largest power.Due to emotion and reason, it is impossible for the British Empire to fall into the top three. This is also the confidence and strength of the British Empire as the world's number one power.

The British Empire won a total of 41 medals, with 10 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 16 bronze medals, the number of gold, silver and bronze medals ranked third in the world.

The fourth medal table is Finland, they won 9 gold medals, 8 silver medals and 9 bronze medals, a total of 26 medals.

The fifth is France, with 7 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 3 bronze medals, for a total of 14 medals.

Sixth is Germany with 5 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 7 bronze medals for a total of 25 medals.

In this Olympic Games, a total of 18 countries won medals, accounting for nearly half of the countries participating in the Olympic Games.

It is worth mentioning that all the great powers have won medals. First of all, they do have more population and economy, and they can develop sports at any cost.

Secondly, as a great power country, unless they have become rotten, otherwise they will all get a medal if they are reasonable.

The ranking rules of the medal table are very simple. Priority is given to ranking by the number of gold medals. Those with the same number of gold medals are ranked according to the number of silver medals. Those with the same number of silver medals are ranked according to the number of bronze medals.

Generally speaking, the Olympic Games this time are relatively fair, and the referees for each event are basically jointly provided by the International Olympic Committee and Australasia.

Australasia occupies the first place in the medal table and the overall medal table, and other countries basically have no complaints.

After all, this is also a recognized benefit of the host of the Olympic Games. As the host of the Olympic Games, it is free to choose to add several sports.

Generally speaking, the host of the Olympic Games will choose the sports that their own country is better at, or even some sports that only their own country can have. Under such circumstances, it is impossible not to win the first place in the medal table.

Naturally, many records have been created in the Olympics. After all, with the development of sports, the training of athletes has become more regular.

Various countries have invested more and more in sports, which has also led to better and better athletes. It is a matter of course to break records in sports competitions.

Of course, the real reason why so many records were broken in this Olympic Games is that all the results of this Olympic Games will be recorded in the history of the Olympic Games.

There was no news about the record breaking before, but the record was broken in the Sydney Olympics, but it will really be remembered by the history of the Olympics.

Unless the latecomer breaks the record again, the person who broke the record in this Olympic Games will always be the record holder, and with the record itself, it will be remembered by mankind for decades.

The athletes also recognized the results of this Olympic Games. After all, this Olympic Games used relatively advanced electronic timing and finish camera equipment. For these equipment, Australasia spent a lot of money.

This also makes the results of this Olympic Games, especially the track and field results, more formal and accurate to 0.1 seconds.

This is also the real reason why the results of this Olympic Games will be officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee and recorded in history.

Under the dual technical guarantee of electronic timing and end-point camera, it can ensure that the results obtained by athletes are correct, and basically there will be no deviation caused by human beings.
