The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education, promoting world peace and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the Olympic famous saying, “Faster, higher, stronger”, has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.

Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everything science can offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: Winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece.

Development in technology has often been reflected in the methods of training and performance used at the Olympics through history. This technology falls into two main groups: improving an athlete’s performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.

One of the creations that have drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by most US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel.

“However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics, 28 of the 33 gold medallists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date,” said Andy Thomas, vice-president of Speedo. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

The company’s full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water resistance as it moves, behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin.

The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from the 100-metre sprint to the pole vault , can now train more effectively and nourish their bodies better.

Meanwhile, scientific development also means performances can be measured and studied far more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are also easier to catch out. According to International Olympic Committee (IOC) requirements, two independent measuring systems should be used at all venues (比赛地点). Athens 2004 organizers used only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed.

     The first Olympic Games were held at Olympia, ancient Greece as early as 776 B.C.. The Olympic 
Games were held once every four years to honor the Greek god Zeus. Sportsmen from many nations 
took part in the games. The Greek Olympics did not have as many sports programmes as the modern 
Olympic Games. There were only a short race—a race of about three miles and some other matches 
such as jumping, boxing, etc.
     During the games all wars stopped. Soldiers were allowed to pass safely through enemy lines on 
their way to the games. The last Greek Olympics were held in 388 A.D.. Then the Roman rulers 
ordered the games be stopped.
     A Fren chman wished to renew the ideas of excellence of body, mind and spirit (精神) shown in 
the ancient Greek Olympics. He believed that the Olympic Games would bring about healthy 
competition among nations, so he decided to start the Olympic Games all over again. He succeeded. 
In 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. Since then the Olympics have 
been growing steadily (稳健地) with more and more nations and athletes taking part. They have 
much more programmes than the Greek Olympics. Athletes of many nations compete in various kinds 
of sports.
     The Olympics have been held once every four years. They are held in a different city of the world. 
But they were not held in 1916, 1940, 1944 because of the w orld wars. The Olympic flame burns 
throughout the Games. It is the flame of peace.
