Seoul Sports: 1988 Summer Olympics (1988 Summer Olympic cauldron)

Biography

South Korean-hosted international multi-sport event held from 17 September to 2 October 1988 in Seoul, officially known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad and commonly known as Seoul 1988. 159 nations were represented at the games by a total of 8,391 athletes (6,197 men and 2,194 women). 237 events were held and 27,221 volunteers helped to prepare the Olympics.

The 1988 Seoul Olympics is the second summer Olympic Games held in Asia. South Korea ranked fourth overall, winning 12 gold medals and 33 medals in the competition. 11,331 media (4,978 written press and 6,353 broadcasters) showed the Games all over the world. These were the last Olympic Games of the Cold War, as well as for the Soviet Union and East Germany, as both ceased to exist before the next Olympic Games in 1992. The Soviet Union utterly dominated the medal count, winning 55 gold and 132 total medals. No nation came even close to repeating this result after 1988.

The much larger boycotts seen in the 1976, 1980 and 1984 Olympics were avoided, resulting in the largest number of participating nations during the Cold War era. Except for seven boycott countries, all countries around the world participated. And this marked the Seoul Olympics as a symbolic Olympic event that laid the groundwork for the end of the Cold War. The history of the Olympic boycott ended completely at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics four years later.

These were the last Summer Olympic Games to hold the opening ceremony during the daytime. The opening ceremony featured a skydiving team descending over the stadium and forming the five-colored Olympic Rings, as well as a mass demonstration of taekwondo.
