The Olympic Message

“The most important thing about the Olympics is not to win, but to participate........ just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle”. These were the words of the founder of the Modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin.

What does the Olympic message mean? It means you sacrifice everything just to compete in the Olympics, and when you struggle, you learn from your mistakes and it makes you stronger.

So who created the Olympic message? Well the man who created it  was the man who created the Olympic message was Baron Pierre de Coubertin.  The message has appeared at all the Modern Olympics on a scoreboard in the opening ceremony.
What does the Olympic message mean to me? To me, it means that it’s not about the Olympics, it about you representing yourself, your family and your friends. It is also about sacrifice. You sacrifice everything just to compete. That's what the Olympic message means to me.

The word triumph means winner, success, fame, fortune and money. The word struggle means training, determined, time, strict diet, and yourself.
