On June 9, 1912, the fifth Summer Olympic Games, known as the Sydney Olympic Games, were officially held in Sydney, the capital of Australasia.

More than 3,500 athletes from 31 countries from all over the world participated in the opening ceremony of the Games on June 9.

According to the Australasian government, more than 50,000 spectators watched the opening ceremony of the Games, and more than 100,000 Australasian people watched outside the stadium.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a national event. Around the world, many governments and tens of millions of people are watching the Games.

Arthur was also present on this day and personally announced the official opening of the Olympic Games.

Arthur's arrival made the Australasian people on the scene revel, and also let other people abroad see the popularity of Arthur in Australasia.

The participants in the opening and closing ceremonies showed the importance that the Australasian government attached to the Games.

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

What's more, the first gold medal of the Olympic Games, which will be awarded by Arthur himself, will go down in the history of the Sydney Games.

You must know that according to the announcement of the International Olympic Committee, all the medals won in this Olympic Games will go down in history and be 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 gold medal officially recorded, and its value and commemorative significance are naturally irreplaceable.

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

There are quite a few countries participating in this Olympic Games for the first time, including Egypt, Luxembourg, Portugal, Syria, island nations, etc.

It also saw a record-breaking number of athletes participating in the Games, which so far had the largest number of participants and the most countries participating in the five Games.

The Olympics run until the end of July, and for Australasia, the two-month Olympics are one of the most important tasks for the government in recent times.

According to conservative estimates, the Olympics have attracted hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists to Australasia, which has greatly contributed to the development of Sydney and nearby cities.

But at the same time, the large number of foreign tourists has also brought serious problems to the security of these cities.

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

For such a grand event that the world is concerned about, if the country is disgraced because of the security problems in Australasia, Arthur absolutely cannot accept it.

After all, Arthur wants to use this Olympics to let all the people around the world know about the country of Australasia and the standard of living in Australasia.

This is a great help for the government to attract immigrants, but it must not be undermined by some small problems.

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

In just over a month, it took just over a month for athletics, swimming, cycling, shooting, gymnastics, wrestling, equestrian, fencing, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing, football and tennis to finally decide the winners, which also means that the Olympic Games have come to an end.

The good news for Australasia is that the Olympics have set a new record with more than 30,000 spectators in each event.

Australasia's preliminary statistics based on the number of tickets sold and the expected number of viewers showed that a total of 2433251 tickets were sold during the Games, and the total number of people watching the Games was as high as more than 410,000, both the total number of tickets sold and the number of viewers set a record high.

The more than 2.43 million tickets generated nearly $6 million in revenue for Australasia. Add to that the spending of these athletes and foreign tourists in Sydney, and the government was surprised to find that it seemed that the Games were not much to spend.

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

All in all, hosting this Olympics is definitely worth the money. The Australasian government and royal family have spent nearly $15 million for the Games.

At present, the revenue from tickets alone has recovered 6 million Australian dollars, and if you count the popularity and influence that this Olympic Games has brought to Australasia, this money is not spent at all.

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

Or form some other sporting event, and anyway, you can make money by selling tickets, and you can also find more entertainment facilities and activities for Australasians.

With this in mind, Arthur already had the idea of organizing a national games across Australasia.

However, the Olympics have only just ended, and there is no need for another national Games to dominate the crowd for the time being.

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

The current political implications of sports are not small, which also means that when it comes to sports competitions, athletes from all countries have a certain amount of pressure, and even before they set off, they have been instructed by their own governments.

For these athletes, there are expectations from the people of their own countries, as well as pressure from the government.

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

Australasia's medal table was announced, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the number of medals won by each country at the Games will go down in history and be recorded in the overall medal table of the Olympic Games.

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

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

The gold, silver and bronze medals in the several sports competitions added by Australasia are naturally all Australasian athletes.

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

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

Of the 71 medals, there were 31 gold, 24 silver, and 16 bronze. Among them, the number of gold medals and silver medals is ranked first in this Olympic Games, and the number of bronze medals is ranked second in this Olympic Games.

In 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 medals. The Americans have the second highest number of gold and silver medals in the world and the first number of bronze medals in the world, making them the most decorated country after Australasia.

In third place in the medal table is naturally the British Empire, which is currently the world's largest power. It is reasonable that the British Empire will not fall into the top three, which is also the confidence and strength of the British Empire as the world's first power.

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

Fourth in the medal table is Finland, who won nine gold, eight silver and nine bronze medals, for a total of 26 medals.

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

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

A total of 18 countries won medals at the Games, accounting for nearly half of the countries participating in the Games.

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

The second is that as a great power, unless they have become decayed, or it is reasonable, they will also win a medal.

The ranking rules of the medal table are very simple, priority is arranged according to the number of gold medals, the number of silver medals is arranged according to the same number of gold medals, and the number of bronze medals is also the same number of silver medals.

The Olympics are generally fair, and the referees for each event are basically provided jointly by the IOC and Australasia.

Australasia occupies the top spot in the medal table and the overall medal table, with little to no objection from other countries.

After all, this is also a benefit for the recognized host of the Olympic Games, and as the host of the Olympic Games, you are free to choose a few new sports.

Generally speaking, the host country of the Olympic Games will choose the events that their country is good at, and even some events that only their own country has, so it is impossible not to win the first place in the medal table.

Naturally, many records have been set in the Olympic Games, after all, with the development of sports, the training of athletes has become more formalized.

Countries are also investing more and more in sports, which also leads to better and better athletes, and it is only natural that sports competitions will break records.

Of course, the real reason why many records have been broken in this Olympic Games is because all the results of this Olympic Games will be recorded in the history of the Olympic Games.

There was no news about the previous record, but the record was broken at the Sydney Olympics, but it will really be remembered by Olympic history.

Unless the latter breaks the record again, the record-breaker of this Olympic Games will forever be the record holder, and will be remembered by mankind for decades along with the record itself.

Athletes are also more recognizant of the results of this Olympic Games, after all, the Olympics used more advanced electronic timing and finish camera equipment, for which Australasia spent a lot of money.

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

This is the real reason why the results of this Olympic Games will be officially recognized by the IOC and go down in history.

With the dual technical support of electronic timing and finish camera, it can ensure that the athletes' results are correct, and there will be basically no deviation caused by human beings.
