Spain and Australia.
After more than a century the Games returned to its hometown in 2004.
When people hold the Olympic Games, they always make an emblem (會(huì)徽). The emblem of the

Now Athens is developing a spirit of peace (和平). An officer said "While in Athens, the world
should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from
the Athens Games to help countries come together and solve their problems."
