El COE, un siglo / Conrado Durántez
Edited by Academia Olímpica Española - 2012
The author focuses on complementing and reinforcing the data and documents that indicate 1912 as the official date of creation of the Spanish Olympic Committee. To do so, he makes a historical journey throughout the century, addressing topics such as: Pierre de Coubertin and the restoration of Olympism; the beginnings of Spanish Olympism; the founding of the Spanish Olympic Committee; the national and international recognition of the Committee; the lethargy of the Committee and its reconstitution in 1924; and the controversy over the founding date.
