motto. Without minimizing the victory, it nevertheless gives a privileged
to experience gained through participation in events such
as the Olympics.
His
long version appears on the display panel at the ceremony opening
of the Olympic Games
"The largest Games Olympic
is not to win but to participate, because the important in
life it is not the triumph but the struggle, the main thing is
not to have conquered but to have fought well".
Pierre
de Coubertin took over and adopted this creed as Olympic Creed after
hearing the sermon of the Bishop of Pennsylvania, Ethelbert Talbot, at
the London Olympics in 1908. The exact content of the sermon was
"The important thing in these Olympiads is not so much winning
as there participate".
