Les Misérables
Standing on the Olympic Podium
The whole world has been drawn into the web of the five rings. The celebration of life, the Olympics, will captivate human society like a magnet for a fortnight. For the third time in a hundred years, Paris is hosting the lively event of youthful and spirited worshipers of humanity and philosophy. The Olympics are a grand affair, and their organization is unparalleled. When the eighth modern Olympics were held in Paris in 1924, the emotions and heartbeat of the event were unique. It was the last Olympics with the modern Olympics' founder, the humanist, educator, and philosopher, French citizen Baron Pierre de Coubertin, as the IOC President. The French organizing committee and the IOC delivered a fair and beautiful Olympics with dedication and sincerity, realizing Coubertin's dream.
Paris Olympics kicks off
