I should like to Quote Pierre de Coubertin

From the writings of Jennifer Rosenberg

"Let us export our oarsmen, our runners, our fencers into other lands. That is the true Free Trade of the future; and the day it is introduced into Europe the cause of PEACE will have received a new and strong ally. It inspires me to touch upon another step I now propose and in it I shall ask that the help you have given me hitherto you will extend again, so that together we may attempt to realise( sic), upon a basis suitable to the conditions of our modern life, the splendid and beneficent task of reviving the Olympic Games"
