Sport is part of every man and woman's heritage and its absence can never be compensated for.

The Olympic Games are the quadrennial celebration of the springtime of humanity.

The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

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.

The important thing is that all stages from adolescent to mature man, work is done to spread the sporting spirit.

For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement

Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort.
