Olympic rings are projected onto a wall during a tribute evening to Pierre de Coubertin and the creation of the modern Olympic Games at the Sorbonne University in Paris on June 23, 2024.
“The Olympic Games and the sports system he created have passed the test of time,” IOC chief Thomas Bach told an audience at the Sorbonne University in Paris on Sunday.Bach was attending a homage and concert for de Coubertin to mark 130 years since a speech at the university which marked the creation of the IOC.
De Coubertin is very rarely name-checked by Paris 2024 organisers, nor does he feature prominently in any of the official narrative around the Games, which begin on July 26. “In France, more than anywhere, we know what we owe to Pierre de Coubertin. We are proud of it, and we won’t forget it,” he pledged.
