Baton: a short stick used in relay races, which needs to be passed by athletes. It is made of wood, but most of it is made of metal. Metal baton is a hollow short tubular baton, which originated from the mutual transfer of spears in ancient Olympic Games. This is one of the oldest events in the Olympic Games.
In the competition, the baton embodies a team spirit, so the tacit cooperation of the players is very important, and it also reflects the unity and cooperation between people. The color of the baton is generally red and white, and there have been green, yellow, red and black in official competitions.
The relay race in the competition
These colors are more prominent and eye-catching on the field. The reason why different colors are used is that when each player holds the other half, it is easy to hand over the stick, and the stick will not fall down because of the same color; If the baton is dropped, the player fouls. When people are running and sprinting, they may not be able to see things with lighter colors clearly.
The baton is used in some running sports. In the team competition, the first runner will give it to the next runner when he returns to the starting point. In the middle stage, he should master the skills. Generally, the former person holds the lower part of the baton, and the other person holds the upper part of the baton quickly and steadily. Then the former person immediately lets go and the second one runs the relay race.
Due to the habit of the players themselves, one person can hold the upper part of the baton with one hand, and the other person can hold the lower part of the baton quickly and smoothly. Therefore, the athletes participating in the relay race are also divided into the first stick, the second stick and so on according to the running order.
Data expansion:
History (Greek? στορ? α, knowledge gained through investigation) is a written document describing the past and its research. Events that happened before written records are considered as prehistory.
History is a general term, involving past events and their memory, discovery, collection, organization, introduction and information interpretation. Scholars who write history are called historians.
History also includes the use of narrative to examine and analyze a series of past events and objectively determine the causal relationship that caused these events. Historians sometimes discuss the nature and use of history by discussing the research itself of this discipline, and regard it as a "perspective" for current problems.
Stories in a specific culture, but without the support of external sources (such as stories around King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends because they do not show a "selfless investigation" of the history discipline.
Herodotus, a Greek historian in the 5th century BC, is usually regarded as the "father of history" in the western tradition, or as the father of lies by some people. Thucydides, his contemporary, laid the foundation for the study of modern human history. Today their works continue to be read.
The gap between Herodotus, who focused on culture, and Thucydides, who focused on military affairs, is still a controversial point or method in modern historical writing. In East Asia, a national chronicle, Chunqiu Zhi, was compiled as early as 722 BC, although only the text of the 2nd century BC was preserved.
The ancient influence has contributed to people's different interpretations of the nature of history, which have evolved in the past few centuries and are still changing today.
The modern study of history is extensive, including the study of specific fields and the study of certain themes or theme elements of historical investigation. History is usually a part of primary and secondary education, and historical research is a major topic of university research.
