A Post-Olympics Passage to China

A physical and spiritual trip to China after the eventful weeks in August

OLYMPIC VALUES

北京2008年奥运会宣传片 Olympic Games Beijing 2008

Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles

It is up to each individual to decide what Olympism and the Olympic Games mean to them, but the fundamental values of Olympism have the same meaning for every human being hoping to fulfil their ambitions and to build a better world. Those values are the search for excellence, fair play, the joy of effort, respect for others and harmony between body and mind.
- The search for excellence.
- Fair play.
- The joy of effort.
- Respect for others.
- Harmony between body and mind.

PASS THE FLAME- UNITE THE WORLD

English version of the official song of Olympic Torch Relay.
Click above - © Song Giannis Kotsiras The ancient Greeks revered the power and fire. In Greek mythology, the God Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humans. To celebrate the passing of fire from Prometheus to man, the Greeks would hold relay races. Athletes would pass a lit torch to one another until the winner reached the finish line.

Pass the Flame, Unite the World
It's time to celebrate let our voices be heard
Pass the Flame Unite the world
Bring us all together We can grow a forest
On a dried up river bed
We can build a mountain
From a grain sand
Reach out, hold out your hands Reach out, hold out your hands
Pass the Flame, Unite the World
It's time to celebrate let our voices be heard
Pass the Flame, Unite the world
Bring us all together
Pass the Flame Unite the World
Reach out, hold out your hands Reach out, hold out your hands
Pass the Flame, Unite the world
Pass the Flame, Unite the World
