Attachment: 1993 inside story of Beijing's failure to bid for the Olympic Games.
1993 On September 23rd, the1kloc-0/th plenary session of the International Olympic Committee was held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and the host city of the 2000 Olympic Games will be selected by voting.
17 On the afternoon of September 6th, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee held a meeting. Before the meeting, Samaranch asked his secretary to send some telegrams to Liang Zhen. Samaranch wrote the word "he" on the telegram and put a big exclamation mark at the back. Zhen Liang was taken aback after reading the telegram. Originally, several news agencies sent messages from Sydney and Monte Carlo respectively, saying that Zhang Baifa had been interviewed by Australian Special Broadcasting Corporation TV in Beijing on August 3 1. Zhang said that if Beijing fails to bid for the Olympic Games because of the obstruction of the US Congress, China will boycott the Atlanta Olympic Games and retaliate. Zhen Liang didn't believe that Zhang Baifa would make such a speech at this sensitive moment, but the meeting was about to begin, and he couldn't get in touch with the delegation immediately.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the Executive Committee, Samaranch asked whether Liang Zhen had resisted this matter, and Liang Zhen unequivocally said that there was no such thing. Samaranch was very happy after hearing this, and immediately asked Napier, director of public relations of the International Olympic Committee, to arrange Zhen Liang's speech at the press conference of the International Olympic Committee that day.
This day in Monte Carlo, it was immediately "coaxed" into the biggest news. Several TV stations broadcast the news that "China will boycott the Atlanta Olympic Games" every hour, and also broadcast some interviews with Australian TV stations to prove that they are "justified". Several western news agencies broadcast the news of China boycott several times a day. Some of them have ulterior motives, saying that China has always put political interests above the Olympic ideal. There was a history of boycotting 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games and 1980 Moscow Olympic Games in the past. It is said that Beijing is playing the political card again. This time, it wants to "blackmail" the International Olympic Committee by boycotting it to win the right to host the Olympic Games. Western journalists seized the so-called "boycott" issue and frequently attacked the spokesman of our delegation.
At the press conference of the International Olympic Committee, Zhen Liang explained to hundreds of reporters: "The purpose of Beijing's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games is to contribute to the development of the Olympic movement in China and the world, and to promote mutual understanding among people and world peace. No matter what the voting result is, China's position of contributing to the Olympic Movement will remain unchanged. " The reporter then asked "Will China participate in the Olympic Games" and "What's your comment on Zhang Baifa's speech". Liang Zhen first replied in French: "I didn't know Mr. Zhang Baifa had this conversation. His speech was obviously mistranslated and misinformed. I want to point out that I am the president of the Chinese Olympic Committee. I repeat, regardless of the result of the vote in Monte Carlo, we will participate in the Lillehammer Winter Olympics and the Atlanta Olympics. " He repeated it in English, and the reporters who followed finally stopped asking questions.
Afterwards, it was learned that when Zhang Baifa was interviewed by Australian special television on August 3 1, Zhang Baifa expressed his anger at the US Congress for blatantly violating the Olympic principles and interfering with the China people's right to bid for the Olympic Games. He said that an American friend told him that after what the United States did to you, you had every reason to boycott the Atlanta Olympic Games. Zhang Baifa told Australian TV reporters that we have every reason to retaliate against the United States, but we will not do that because we have always supported the Olympic Movement. I didn't expect the Australian side to make this speech from beginning to end, broadcast it on the eve of the Monte Carlo vote, and disclosed the content to the major western news agencies in advance. The real intention of the Australian side is to suddenly drop a blockbuster when the vote is approaching, which makes it difficult for us to make a comeback at the short last minute.
65438+1At 8: 00 pm on September 23rd, 1993, after the last round of voting, all members attended the voting result announcement meeting held in Louis II Gymnasium. Before the meeting, Zhen Liang and Wan Siquan made an arrangement, and Wan Siquan waited at the gate of his hotel, which was the only way for Zhen Liang to go from the venue to the gymnasium. If the bid is expected to be successful, the vibrating beam will wave to Wan Smile. If there is no hope, the vibrating beam will have no expression or gesture. It was raining heavily. Zhen Liang didn't see Wan at the appointed hotel gate, but he saw Wan standing at the gate of the gymnasium with a look of expectation. The eyes of the two men looked at each other, and the vibrating beam turned away. Entering the gymnasium, Liang Zhen said to Samaranch, "It seems that Sydney has won the right to host the games." Samaranch said, "How do you know? Maybe Beijing? It is difficult for anyone to determine who will win until the envelope is opened. " Zhen Liang said: "No, most supporters in Manchester will support Sydney." Samaranch stepped onto the rostrum. He solemnly took out the envelope, took out the voting results and announced, "The winner is Sydney."
At this moment, the vibrating beam feels particularly uncomfortable. Although everything was expected by him, when he saw that the expressions of the comrades of the Beijing Olympic bid Committee delegation seemed to have solidified, he really couldn't stand it. What TV viewers all over the world saw was that Zhen Liang generously congratulated Gospa, the second vice chairman beside him.
Of course, this is only one reason:
Other reasons are
1. After Manchester was eliminated in the last round, tickets from Europe and America flowed to Sydney.
Sydney is indeed better than Beijing in environmental protection and hardware.
