3. Olympic
Spirit
In the context of competition, Olympic excellence refers to a personal
best. It instructs athletes to strive towards their personal best without
over-emphasizing competition. This means that winning is as
important as playing for the love of the game. Olympic athletes should
strive to be excellent both on and off the field and benefit from the
healthy combination of strong mind, body and will.

Spirit
The athletes that compete during the games are the most important
part of the movement. By promoting the values of solidarity, team spirit,
and love for sport, the games hope to inspire mutual understanding
between people. It encourages athletes to learn to overcome barriers
such as poverty, racism, and religion to make long-lasting friendships
with their team-mates and their opponents, and in doing so set an
example for citizens of all nations.
