Spirit

In the context of competition, Olympic excellence refers to a personal best. It instructs athletes to strive towards their personal best without over-emphasizing competition. This means that winning is as important as playing for the love of the game. Olympic athletes should strive to be excellent both on and o� the field and benefit from the healthy combination of strong mind, body and will.

Spirit

The athletes that compete during the games are the most important part of the movement. By promoting the values of solidarity, team spirit, and love for sport, the games hope to inspire mutual understanding between people. It encourages athletes to learn to overcome barriers such as poverty, racism, and religion to make long-lasting friendships with their team-mates and their opponents, and in doing so set an example for citizens of all nations.
