In the name of all competitors I promise that we will take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by all the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.

All sports for all people.

The six colors, including the white background, represent the colors of all the world's flags ... this is a true international emblem.

Olympism is a doctrine of the fraternity between the body and the soul.

The Olympic Games were created for the exhaltation of the individual athlete.

For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.

Sport must be accessible to working class youth.
