The Important Thing In Life

For Me Sport Was A Religion... With Religious Sentiment.

May Joy And Good Fellowship Reign, And In This Manner, May The Olympic Torch Pursue Its Way Through Ages, Increasing Friendly Understanding Among Nations, For The Good Of A Humanity Always More Enthusiastic, More Courageous And More Pure.

The Olympic Games Are For The World And All Nations Must Be Admitted To Them.

All Sports Must Be Treated On The Basis Of Equality.

The Strength Of Olympism Comes To It From That Which Is Simply Human, Hence Worldwide Is Its Essence.
