The Olympic spirit was put forward by Pierre De Coubertin. In order to introduce a vibrant new education system to the motherland, Coubertin devoted himself to studying different contemporary education systems and the history of ancient Greece since he was a teenager.
He hopes that French youth can accept a new education system, that is, to strengthen moral cultivation and confidence, while exercising and cultivating courage and strong personality.
Through the investigation of the ancient Olympic Games, Coubertin realized that the ancient Greeks organized competitions not only to exercise their physique and show spectacular scenes, but also to educate people. He believes that sports competitions can temper people's will, cultivate people's personality and exercise people at the same time.
The Olympic spirit is a miracle of modern social civilization. It hopes to build a society without any discrimination, cultivate sincere understanding, cooperation and friendship between people, recognize the honor of fair competition under equal conditions, and set a unique and glorious example for people in other fields of society.
Since more than 2000 years ago, the Olympic movement, as a healthy and progressive sports competition, has emerged in the sacred Olympics and has become a valuable spiritual and cultural wealth that the ancient Greeks have dedicated to mankind.
Today, the connotation of the Olympic movement has gone far beyond the scope of sports competition. It has become a cultural event and the civilized heritage of all mankind. Its rich connotation and its importance to human life are increasing day by day.
