Racial Distinctions Should Not Play A Role

Olympism Seeks To Create A Way Of Life Based On The Joy Found In Effort, The Educational Value Of A Good Example And Respect For Universal Fundamental Ethical Principles.

The Olympic Flag [] Has A White Background, With Five Interlaced Rings In The Centre: Blue, Yellow, Black, Green And Red []. This Design Is Symbolic; It Represents The Five Continents Of The World, United By Olympism, While The Six Colours Are Those That Appear On All The National Flags Of The World At The Present Time.

Sport Must Be The Heritage Of All Men And Of All Social Classes.

The Olympic Games Were Created For The Exhaltation Of The Individual Athlete.

The Most Important Thing In The Olympic Games Is Not To Win But To Take Part, Just As The Most Important Thing In Life Is Not The Triumph But The Struggle. The Essential Thing Is Not To Have Conquered But To Have Fought Well.
