no matter what 相当于whatever, 引导让步状语从句。
No matter who / Whoever knocks, don’t open the door. 无论谁敲门，都不要开。
No matter what /whatever you do, do it well. 无论做什么，都要把它做好。
5. (Line 16) It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who restarted the Olympics.
“It was…… who……”为强调句型结构，强调的是a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin作Frenchman的同位语。
“It + be +被强调部分+ who/that……”
e.g. It was I who/that saw him in the street yesterday. (主语)昨天是我在街上看见了他。
It was in the street that I saw him yesterday. （地状）我昨天是在街上看见他的。
一般疑问句形式：Be + it +被强调部分+ who/that……

7. (Line 19) Now people……and among them are many well-known athletes.
