Pierre de Coubertin – history of one passion
Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin, was born in Paris in 1863. His
family originated in Normandy where he spent many of his summers in
the family Château de Mirville, near Le Havre.
He refused the military career planned for him by his family, as
well as renouncing a promising political career. By the age of 24 he
had already decided the aim of his life: he would help bring back
the noble spirit of France by reforming its old-fashioned and
unimaginative education system.
Coubertin, whose father was an artist and mother a musician, was
raised in cultivated and aristocratic surroundings. He had always
been deeply interested in questions of education. For him, education
was the key to the future of society, and he sought the means to
make France rise once more after its defeat in the war in 1870.
It was this conviction that led him to announce at the age of 31
that he wanted to revive the Olympic Games. He made this
announcement in a meeting at the Union of French Societies of
Athletic Sports, for which he was Secretary General. No one really
believed him and his statement was greeted with little enthusiasm.
Coubertin, however, was not discouraged and on 23 June, 1894 he
founded the International Olympic Committee in a ceremony held at
the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Demetrius Vikelas from Greece
became the first president of the IOC.
On 10 April, 1915 the acts ensuring the establishment of the
international administrative centre and archives of the modern
Olympic movement were signed in the Town Hall of Lausanne. Due to
the 1st World War, Coubertin requested permission to establish the
headquarters of the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was a
neutral country.
In 1922, the IOC headquarters and the Museum collections were moved
to the Villa Mon Repos in Lausanne and stayed there for the next 46
years. Pierre de Coubertin also wanted to be seen as a pedagogue.
All of his projects, including the Games, had the same aim in mind:
to make men. His definition of Olympism had four principles that
were far from a simple sports competition.
To be a religion i.e. to "adhere to an ideal of a higher life, to
strive for perfection"; to represent an elite "whose origins are
completely egalitarian" and at the same time "chivalry" with its
moral qualities; to create a truce "a four-yearly festival of the
springtime of mankind"; and to glorify beauty by the "involvement of
the philosophic arts in the Games".
Pierre de Coubertin withdrew from the IOC and the Olympic Movement
in 1925 to devote himself to his pedagogical work, which he termed
his "unfinished symphony".
At the age of 69, in 1931, he published his "Olympic Memoirs" in
which he emphasized the intellectual and philosophical nature of his
enterprise and his wish to "place the role of the IOC, right from
the start, very much above that of a simple sports association".
Pierre de Coubertin suddenly died of a heart attack on 2 September,
1937, in a park in Geneva, and thus his "symphony" remained
unfinished. The city of Lausanne had decided to award him honorary
citizenship of the city, but he died just prior to the ceremony. In
accordance with Pierre de Coubertin's last wishes, he was buried in
Lausanne and his heart was placed inside a stele erected to his
memory at Olympia.
