The Olympic Message

I think that the Olympic message that was quoted from Baron Pierre de Coubertin is very inspirational. He made a great point with his speech when he founded the Modern Olympics. The man’s very words were ”The most important thing about the olympic games is not to win, but to take part...just as the most important in life is not the triumph, but the struggle”. Those words are words of encouragement and I think that it is one of the most inspirational quotes I have ever heard in my life. Baron Pierre must have been really famous for being the founder of the modern olympics. I thank him for that.

What I think the olympic message means, is to not give up in any sport that you participate in. If you lose don’t hang your head down, but to be proud that you are the best in your country at that particular sport. They are great words of wisdom. Also I think that it means if you lose and you want to win next time, you need to work hard with training and if you don’t struggle while training then you’re not trying your hardest to accomplish your goal.

A person in the Olympics that I really look up to is Michael Phelps from the USA. He is a sensational swimmer and even if he is losing he never gives up and always puts up a fight until he touches the end of the pool. That is one of the reasons why I think he is the greatest Olympian ever. Michael Phelps always strives to do his best in anything that he competes in. Thats what I like about Phelps. He has sheer determination to win and he has a never die attitude. I really think that Michael Phelps follows the Olympic message.

Now I start to wonder how Baron Pierre de Coubert came up with the olympic message. I think he just came up with those words of wisdom to inspire and encourage other people if they lose or if they actually do triumph. Did you know that Baron Pierre de Coubertin came up with the 5 olympic rings. Baron Pierre is pretty successful to keep the modern olympics alive. He is a legend because billions of people watch the olympics and they always love when people break world records. Well I like it when people break world records.

There is another thing that I wonder about. That is why that very speech is the actual olympic message. What I think is that the olympic message is out there to support people to strive hard and train extremely hard to get something that you really desperately need. Those are really inspiring words. It tells people to never ever give up and keep striving to win and eventually you will win a gold medal.
