○ × I do.
Bubu, the answer is ×. Ancient Olympic Games held since the 9th century BC to 4th century welcomed the end, the modern Olympics being done now, is revived 100 years ago.
Significance of the Berlin Olympics
Reached a turning point in modern Olympics in 1936. This year, the Olympics held in Berlin, became the world's largest political show.
Hitler was the Olympics, "the Nazi regime is peaceful, without any racial discrimination, which modern state power with a great national organization," and positioned to appeal to the world stage and propaganda.

The Beijing Olympics and China's, and military hegemony, to have inherited the worst the Nazis had called ethnic cleansing. Without saying that this nightmare with the Olympics, for all that.
