Olympism is a doctrine of the fraternity between the body and the soul.

The strength of Olympism comes to it from that which is simply human, hence worldwide is its essence.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

If he is knocked out of the competition, he encourages his brothers with his words and presence.
