EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a monumental moment in the world of sports. French educationalist and founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, sits proudly alongside members of the first International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Athens, 1896. The significance of this gathering cannot be overstated as it marked the birth of an international sporting movement that continues to inspire millions today. In this image, we see Dr. Willibald Gebhard from Germany, Jiri Guth-Jarkovsky representing Bohemia, Ferenc Kemeny hailing from Hungary, and General Victor Balck proudly standing beside Coubertin himself. Seated next to him are Demetrios Vikelas, Greece's own illustrious figure who served as the first IOC president, and General Boutowsky from Russia. The solemn expressions on their faces reflect their dedication to promoting unity through sport across borders. Their collective vision laid the foundation for what would become one of humanity's most celebrated events - the Olympic Games. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are reminded not only of these extraordinary individuals but also how far we have come since that fateful day in Athens over a century ago. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and our enduring pursuit of excellence through friendly competition on a global stage.
