Deskripsi

The olympics is the biggest sportevent because it is followed by almost all countries in the world, which are made up of 5 interlocking rings as their logo. Since it was held in 776 BC known as the ancient olympics until the first modern olympics in 1896 in Athens, the olympics continuesto consistently echo olympism as its philosophy, which is to improve and balance in a balanced way the quality of the humanbody, will and mind as a whole. The Olympics is not just a matter of competing for the prestige of each country's sporting achievements, but being able to become an olympic movement for the world community, namely increasing an active lifestyle is one of the important points of how the olympics intervenes in people who are increasingly influenced by rapid industrialization, especiallyfor developing countries like Indonesia. Government policies are expected to be the main force as a pillar to strengthen the nation, especially how to make Indonesia a country that will move on and try to follow the rhythm of the world today while still making an active lifestyle the main source of strength in implementing the spirit of the olympics. Due to the fact that not many Indonesian athletes are able to speak at the olympics, this is a clear illustration of the low awareness of the Indonesian people towards an active lifestyle, because elite athletes are born from community participation in sports.Even during the 68 years of the olympics, Indonesia was only able to deliver 331 athletes or only half of the number of athletes sent by China in one olympic event, namely 596 in 2008. Even so, slowly but surely the government's policy continues to be in line with the spirit of the olympics, namely increasing the active lifestyle of the community so that in the future more Indonesian athletes will be born who are able to compete in the olympics and make the country proud.
