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 character and exercise people at the same time.
Carry forward the Olympic spirit:
1, first make clear what the Olympic spirit is.
The Olympic spirit is embodied in the tenet followed by the Olympic Movement and the motto and slogan put forward. "Peace, friendship and progress" is a high generalization of the Olympic purpose. "Faster, higher and stronger" is the Olympic motto. The slogan "It is important to participate, not to win" reflects the internationality and broad mass of the Olympic Movement.
2. Carry forward and inherit the Olympic spirit.
The Olympic Games also embodies unity. Whether it is the concern for the Olympic Games itself, the support of the people, or the transmission of the Olympic Games, it not only embodies the unity of a nation, but also embodies the unity of a country and the unity of the people of the world. Only unity can make a nation, a country and even the world develop faster and stronger.
3. The mission of contemporary college students
Everyone should enjoy the possibility of engaging in sports without any form of discrimination, and embody the Olympic spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition.
