The Olympic Spirit in Action
The Olympic Spirit
not to win but to take part
The Olympic spirit is best expressed in the Olympic Creed:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
Abbey D'Agostino of the United States collided with Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand in a women's 5000m qualifying race. In true Olympic spirit, they helped each other out, and despite being banged up, they both ran another mile to finish the race.
