	Pierre de Coubertin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Coubertin created the modern pentathlon for the 1912 Olympics, and subsequently stepped down from his IOC presidency after the 1924 Olympics in Paris, which proved much more successful than the first attempt in that city in 1900.
		De Coubertin remained Honorary President of the IOC until he died in 1937 in Geneva, Switzerland.
		The Pierre de Coubertin medal (also known as the De Coubertin medal or the True Spirit of Sportsmanship medal) is an award given by the International Olympic Committee to those athletes that demonstrate the spirit of sportsmanship in the Olympic Games.

	Hirthler and Partners :: Passion
		Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the French educator who founded the Modern Olympic Games, stood five feet three inches tall, but the shadow he cast over the last 100 years indicates that he was, by every measure, a giant of the 20th century.
		Coubertin's daughter, Renee, who was evidently gifted at poetry and painting as a young girl, became the sad focus of her mother's guilt.
		For Coubertin, whose republican sentiments were now fully developed, the symbolic power of these ceremonies and events, rooted in history and conducted in the shadow of an architectural wonder, must have inspired a dream of the potential of an international spectacle of sport.
