Olympism and Olympic education : back to the roots / Michael Krüger

Bearing in mind the history of modern Olympic Games and the apparently growing gap between ideals of its fundamental principles, and the reality, the author firstly explains in a historical perspective what Olympism really means, and how its understanding has changed during the last century. The process of renewing Olympism can only succeed by remembering and reassuring its roots in history, ethics, and education. Secondly, he discusses three perspectives of Olympic education, as crucial elements of modern education as a whole.
