Olympic Values: Excellence
The Olympic Movement has three key values: Excellence, Respect, and Friendship.
Excellence is giving our best, on the field of play and in all aspects of our lives. It is cultivating drive and perseverance, towards whatever goals we have. But excellence is not just about the goals. It is about the personal development that comes from any effort that is meaningful to us. With a healthy balance between body and mind.
One of the ways that Excellence is celebrated is by awarding medals to athletes.
