Hello, in this video, we will go in depth into the Olympic Ceremonies,

the parts and structure and the meaning.

The central distribution is because of the worked on this issue.

During the years after the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, it is the fruit of that work we

can find to change the books, television and Olympics and Olympic ceremonies.

Historical continuity.

And cultural change sighted at the end of this video.

You will find this material is available for free on the internet.

Due to the restricted brand protection policy that the international community

has established, we are not authorized to use moving images reviews

of the opening and closing ceremonies in our presentation even that you can work

on then on the duty official channel of the international community.

The Olympics ceremony attract the widest and most acute attention

of any regularly scheduled concert, performance, event in the human history

as a consequence of the global audience and hype, views and previews.

They are the fundamental cultural events of the Olympics,

according to colleagues and.

According to that ceremonies are a principal means through

which the international Olympic company becomes visible and meaningful

to mass audiences distinguishing them from other sport agencies.

And thereby helping to maintain its authority in the sport movement.

What about the ceremonies and chief avenue for [INAUDIBLE] change in the world system

today that's contributing to all of the submissions of promote international.

As you'll understand it.

It consists a total control of the opening and

closing ceremonies by the International Olympic Committee despite that the last

operations of the Olympic Charter have the related some details about certain

aspects of the Olympic ceremonies which were include in previous editions.

In another words, in a recent versions of the Olympic Charter, many details.

About the organization, protocol and

management of the Olympic ceremonies had been eliminated.

For instance, the Olympic chartering follows from the 4th of July 2003 set.

Regarding the Olympic Flame, it's Article 68.2.

The Olympic Flame has to be placed in a prominent position,

clearly visible and where the structure of the stadium permits,

visible also outside the stadium.

However, the Article 54 of the last edition of the Olympic Charter,

enforced from September 9, 2013.

That's not to specify their position of the Olympic flame.

We have to remember that, for example, in London in 2012 the Olympic

flame could not be seen from the outside of the stadium.

Which of those parts that are always repeated in every opening ceremony?

The Olympics, the ceremonies of the Olympics combined

contents of four different nature.

Possible a crucial element is the spectacle,

that entertainable instead and portrayed the best and the best about the city and

the country that are hosts in the Olympics.

These are elements of self representation

of the hosting society to be projected to the world

thanks to billions of viewers around the globe that follow the ceremonies.

According to Garcia, the ceremonies act as the main platform to communicate

the king's cultural symbolic messages locally as well as internationally.

Secondly, another recurrent aspect is the protocol.

The opening and closing of the ceremonies of the Olympics are characterized

by the institutional speeches of the head of state and

the presidents of the International Olympic Committee and

the organizing committee among other elements.

Thirdly, a key component of the ceremonies are the Olympic rituals and symbols.

Such as the rising of the Olympic flag, and the playing of the Olympic anthem,

the arrival in the stadium of the Olympic flame, and the lighting of the cauldron,

which will stay lit until the end of the games.

Finally, the Olympic ceremonies include the athlete parades in which

the participant athletes are received in the stadium and said goodbye.

The closing ceremony’s a tribute to all the participants and the winners.

In both cases, the stadium become a fiesta, a collective celebration.
