Olympic Movement

The Olympic movement refers to the global initiative that promotes the values of sportsmanship, fair play, and peace through international athletic competition. Rooted in the ancient Olympic Games, it was revitalized in the modern era by Pierre de Coubertin in 1896. The movement encompasses the Olympic Games held every four years, the principles outlined in the Olympic Charter, and efforts to encourage participation in sports worldwide. It aims to unite nations, foster friendship among athletes, and celebrate excellence in sports, while also advocating for social and cultural development through athletics.
