Background |
|
One of the fundamental principles of Olympism is that Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of leading by example and a respect for fundamental universal ethical principles. The Olympic Movement should evaluate whether the Olympic Games still help to promote the Olympic ideals and whether the Olympic values continue to contribute to the success of the Olympic Games.
