Portrait:
Pierre de Coubertin
 Father
of Olympic Games
Coubertin
was a very active sportsman and practiced the sports of boxing, fencing, horse-riding
and rowing. He was convinced that sport was
the springboard for moral energy and he defended his idea with rare tenacity.
It was this conviction that led him to announce at the age of 31 that he wanted
to revive the Olympic Games. On 23 June, 1894 he founded the International Olympic
Committee in a ceremony held at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Two years
later, in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens
