Olympic Games

On Saturday, 23 November, the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Schools came together in a remarkable celebration of unity and pride to honour the Olympic spirit and its values through a unique Olympiad event.

The Beijing Olympic City Development Association (BODA) is launching on Monday, November 11, an exhibition on the cultural heritage of the twin Olympic Games in the Chinese capital in recent years, at the Serafio venue of the city of Athens.

Making better use of the OAKA Olympic Stadium is two decades overdue. It is high time that the venues left from the 2004 Athens Olympics are inducted into the city's day-to-day existence in a functional, socially beneficial and economically sustainable way. They no longer need to stand as symbols of the country's deficiencies; they can be transformed.

Anna Korakaki addressed the issue that arose with her eyes:
“After giving my mind and body the time they needed, and now with a clearer head and a sense of calm, I can reflect on this year, whose biggest goal was, of course, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. At 28, I had the blessing and honor of representing my country in the Olympics for the third consecutive time.”

Honouring the Olympic spirit and its values in a unique way, GCM Schools of the Hellenic Community of Melbourne (HCM) will celebrate the end of this school year by organizing their own student Olympiad in a large joint celebration of all campuses on Saturday, 23 November, at Heidelberg U

It took countless events and many years for the Olympic officials to decide to honor the birthplace of the Games, Greece.

Officials in Ancient Olympia are protesting the decision to hold the next International Olympic Committee session in a neighboring region of the Peloponnese, rather than at the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Around 70,000 spectators gathered at the Stade de France to witness the closing of the 33rd Summer Olympic Games in Paris. The ceremony began in the Tuileries Gardens, where the Olympic flame had been placed during the Games. France's swimming sensation, Leon Marchand, took the flame from the Gardens with a lantern and made his way to the Stade de France, marking the start of the event.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise abseiled from the roof of the Stade de France as Paris said farewell on Sunday to an Olympics hailed as one of the most successful in history.

Cruise descended on a wire in front of 71,500 spectators, grabbed the Olympic flag and jumped on a motorbike, to the delight of athletes and fans.

Tom Cruise participated spectacularly in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The Hollywood star symbolically “passed the baton” for the 2028 Olympic Games to the next host city, Los Angeles, offering the audience a one-of-a-kind show.
