Coubertin Medal

The Coubertin Medal is an award established by the International Olympic Committee in 1958 to honor individuals who exemplify Pierre de Coubertin’s ideals of Olympism — promoting excellence, fair play, and respect through sport. It recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the Olympic movement, often through inspiring leadership, dedication, and sportsmanship. Recipients can be athletes, officials, or volunteers who have demonstrated a commitment to the Olympic spirit beyond their immediate achievements, fostering the values that underpin the global Olympic community.
