Pierre de Coubertin on Olympic Games
← Back to Pierre de Coubertin Profile
“Winning medals wasn’t the point of the Olympics. It’s the participating that counts.”
“I therefore think that I was right in trying from the outset of the Olympic revival to rekindle a religious awareness.”
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part . . . The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”
