The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 376: Chapter 321: The End of the Olympics and the Medal Table



On June 9, 9, the fifth Summer Olympic Games, i.e., the Sydney Olympics, officially took place in the capital of Australasia, Sydney.

All athletes from the 3 countries a the world who participated in this Olympic Games, totaling more than 3,500, attded the oping ceremony on June 9.

According to statistics from the Australasian Governmt, there were more than 50,000 spectators at the oping ceremony, and outside the stadium, there were over 0,000 Australasians watching.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a nationally watched evt. Also, many governmts and ts of millions of people a the world were paying atttion to the Olympic Games.

Arthur also attded the evt that day and announced the official oping of the Olympics.

Arthur's arrival caused a frzy among the Australasians prest and demonstrated the extt of his popularity in Australasia to foreign spectators.

The involvemt of both Arthur and Prime Minister Kt in the oping and closing ceremonies showed the importance of the Olympic Games to the Australasian Governmt.

Arthur personally delivered the oping speech, and Prime Minister Kt would deliver the closing speech.

More importantly, Arthur would personally prest the first gold medal, which will go down in the history of the Sydney Olympics.

According to the International Olympic Committee's announcemt, all medals awarded in this Olympic Games will go down in history and be officially recognized by the committee.

This means that the first gold medal of this Olympic Games can be regarded as the first gold medal officially recorded in the world, which cannot be replaced in terms of value and commemorative significance.

It should be noted that ev countries facing war, such as the Balkan nations, st a certain number of athletes to participate in the Olympics.

Several countries, including Egypt, Luxembourg, Portugal, Syria, and the Island Nation, participated in the Olympics for the first time.

This brought the number of athletes participating in the Olympic Games to a record high, with the Sydney Olympics being the Games with the most participants and countries among the five Olympic Games held so far.

The Olympics will last until the d of July, and for Australasia, the two-month-long evt is one of the governmt's most important tasks in the short term.

According to conservative estimates, the Olympic Games attracted hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists to Australasia, significantly driving the developmt of Sydney and nearby cities.

However, the influx of foreign tourists also poses security challges to these cities.

Starting in May, Arthur ordered the Security Departmt to recruit more police from other cities to maintain security in Sydney and its suring cities.

Arthur would not accept the Olympic Games, an evt watched by the world, to cause national humiliation due to security issues in Australasia.

After all, Arthur aimed to use the Olympic Games to introduce the people worldwide to the country of Australasia and its standard of living.

This would be of great help to the governmt in attracting immigrants and should not be jeopardized by minor issues.

Compared to the historical Stockholm Olympics, the overall process of the Sydney Olympics this time was shorter and faster.

Under Arthur's personal witness, just over a month's time was tak to determine the outcomes in athletics, swimming, cycling, shooting, gymnastics, wrestling, equestrian, fcing, modern ptathlon, rowing, sailing, football, and tnis. It also marked the d of the Olympic Games.

The good news for Australasia was that each evt attracted more than 30,000 spectators, setting a new record in viewership.

Based on the number of tickets sold and the projected number of viewers, Australasia conducted a preliminary estimate that a total of ,433,5 tickets were sold during the Olympics, with a total viewership of over 4,000. Both the total number of tickets sold and the viewership set historical highs.

The over .43 million tickets gerated nearly 6 million Australian dollars in revue for Australasia. Coupled with the consumption of athletes and foreign tourists in Sydney, the governmt was surprised to find that it seemed that there was not much expse for hosting this Olympic Games.

While the construction of the Australasian National Sports Ara cost a considerable amount of funds, the construction of the stadium was necessary and required for sports developmt.

Overall, hosting this Olympic Games was absolutely worth it. The Australasian Governmt and royal family spt nearly 5 million Australian dollars on this Olympic Games.

Currtly, just relying on ticket revue alone has recovered 6 million Australian dollars. Considering the reputation and influce the Olympic Games brought to Australasia, the money spt was not a loss at all.

In fact, Arthur was already planning to see if there was a chance to host another Olympic Games after World War I ded.

Or maybe establish some other sporting evts; after all, money could be made by selling tickets and providing more tertainmt facilities and activities for the people of Australasia.

With this in mind, Arthur already had the idea of ​​organizing a national sports evt throughout Australasia.

However, the Olympic Games just ded, so there is no need for another nationwide sports evt to cause unnecessary excitemt.

At this Olympic Games, the competition in sports was quite intse.

At prest, the political significance of sports is not small, which also means that athletes from various countries are under certain pressure in sports competitions and have ev received instructions from their own governmts before setting off.

For these athletes, they have the expectations of their country's people behind them, as well as the pressure from the governmt.

The best way is to win a gold medal or defeat an athlete from a rival country in a sports competition to have a good explanation to the people and the governmt.

This time, the Australasian Games has introduced a medal table, and the International Olympic Committee specially announced that the number of medals won by various countries in this Olympic Games will be recorded in history and included in the overall Olympic medal table.

This also means that those with an advantage in this Olympic Games will also have a certain advantage in the Olympic medal table.

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

The additional sports competitions in Australasia have won gold, silver, and bronze medals, which are naturally all Australasian athletes.

At this time, there is no rule that a country cannot monopolize gold, silver, and bronze medals in an evt, and with the advantage of being the host country, it is natural for Australasia to train in advance for newly added evts and take all the medals as a matter of course.

In the Sydney Olympics medal table and overall Olympic medal table, Australasia holds an absolute advantage, winning a total of 7 medals.

Of these 7 medals, there are 3 gold, 4 silver, and 6 bronze. The number of gold and silver medals is the first in this Olympic Games, and the number of bronze medals is the second.

Ranked second in the medal standings is the United States across the ocean. The Americans won a total of 6 medals, with 3 gold, 9 silver, and 9 bronze. The number of gold and silver medals for the Americans ranks second in the world, and the number of bronze medals ranks first in the world, making them the country with the most medals after Australasia.

Ranking third in the medal standings is, of course, the world's number one power, the British Empire. Both in terms of rationality and reasonabless, the British Empire should not fall out of the top three, which is also the confidce and strgth of the British Empire as the world's first power.

The British Empire won a total of 4 medals, with gold, 5 silver, and 6 bronze, ranking third in the world for gold, silver, and bronze medals.

Ranked fourth is Finland, with 9 gold, 8 silver, and 9 bronze medals, totaling 6 medals.

Fifth is France, with 7 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals, totaling 4 medals.

The sixth is Germany, with 5 gold, 3 silver, and 7 bronze medals, totaling 5 medals.

In this Olympic Games, a total of 8 countries won medals, accounting for nearly half of the participating countries.

It is worth noting that all the powerful countries have won medals. First, they do have a larger population and economy and can spare no expse to develop sports.

Secondly, as a powerful country, they should also win a medal in both emotion and reason unless they have become rott and incompett.

The rules for ranking the medal table are simple, prioritized by the number of gold medals, followed by the number of silver medals if the number of gold medals is the same, and th by the number of bronze medals if the number of silver medals is the same.

In geral, this Olympic Games is relatively fair, and the referees in various competition evts are basically provided jointly by the International Olympic Committee and Australasia.

Australasia occupies the first place in the medal table and overall medal table, which has no complaints from other countries.

After all, it is also considered a welfare of the host country of the Olympic Games. As the host country of the Olympic Games, it is possible to choose a few additional sports evts freely.

Gerally speaking, the host country of the Olympic Games will choose evts that their country is good at, and ev some evts that only their country has. In such a situation, it is impossible not to win the first place in the medal standings.

Many records have be set in the Olympic Games. After all, with the developmt of sports, athletes' training has become more standardized.

Countries' investmt in sports evts is also getting higher and higher, which also leads to better and better levels of athletes, and breaking records in sports competitions is a matter of course.

Of course, the real reason for the many records brok in this Olympic Games is that all the results of this Olympic Games will be recorded in the annals of the Olympic Games.

Breaking records before didn't ev make the news, but breaking records at the Sydney Olympics will be truly remembered by Olympic history.

Unless their record is brok by others, those who break records in this Olympic Games will forever be the record holders, remembered by human beings for decades along with the record itself.

Athletes also recognize the results of this Olympic Games, as they have used more advanced electronic timing and finish line camera equipmt. Australasia has spt a lot of money on this equipmt.

This has made the results of this Olympic Games, especially athletics, more standardized and accurate to 0. seconds.

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

With the dual protection of electronic timing and finish line cameras, it can sure that the results achieved by the athletes are correct and there will be no deviation caused by human factors.
