The natural environment belongs to the universal values of Olympism, since the Athens Olympics 2004. The Olympic ideal expands, participates in the reflection of our century and calls man to a relationship of responsibility with nature.
Respect for the environment is incorporated in all the initiatives of the Olympic Games.
As pointed out by Niki Goulandris at an event for ATHENS 2004: The value and contribution of the natural environment has never been absent from the spirit of the Olympic idea. It has always existed as a matter of course. The magic and continuity of the flow were a given. They did not seek them, they conquered them as a way of life, they reduced them to supreme universal values. Greek positions from the most ancient antiquity, symbiotic relations according to Aristotle: “A people is formed by the spirit of the space and the nature of the land it inhabits”. In Olympia, in the land of Elis, the natural environment was offered as an ideal place to house the most ambitious conception of the ancient world. Its mild climate, the mountains that protect it, the fertile lowland coastal areas and an idyllic Mediterranean vegetation of plane trees, cypresses, oaks, wild olive trees contributed to this ” – concluded Mrs. Niki Goulandri, paying tribute to the beauty of Greek nature, in a sea of wildflowers! “.
