Olympic Creed

take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph
but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but
to have fought well." (Baron de Coubertin)
Olympic Movement
the good sportsmanship, sense of fair play, and respect for fellow
athletes that is developed through participation in sports teaches
men and women of different races, religions, and nationalities to
work peacefully together in competition toward common goals."
Olympic Awards
"... The IOC does not recognize any nation as winner of any Olympic
Games. Only winning individuals and teams are credited with
victory."​
