Importance
Important to the IOC, importance in the wider context of the Olympics and people wanting to learn about the Olympics? Suggest reassess to importance=high. Paulbrock 23:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Axel is good at guitar hero

3 main constituents
At different points in the article the 3 main constituents of the Olympic movement are identified as "the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Federations and the National Olympic Committees, and the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games" or "the International Olympic Committee, the International Federations, and the National Olympic Committees." I'm not sure what is correct.

Olympism
What is Olympism? Promoting it is listed as the first purpose of the Olympic Charter, but the word itself is not defined. Since "Olympism" redirects to this page, perhaps this page should define it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.92.85 (talk) 13:00, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Exactly! Olympism is supposed to be the set of Olympic Ideals and it definately deserves a separate article. I don't understand why it is redirected to the Olympic Chart article. The Olympic Chart is something like a constitution, while Olympism is a quality the Chart attempts to protect. Something like the constitution of the USA (or any democratic country for that matter) and freedom of speech. I propose a different article for Olympism with a redirect from Olympic Ideal Quick Link: http://www.pe04.com/olympic/olympia/ideal_o.php   Moumouza (talk) 19:22, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

When was it created?
I tried looking for the answer, but couldn't find it. Perhaps someone else can add this important date to the article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:44, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I also came here looking for this answer and was surprised not to see it here. --Carey Jensen —Preceding undated comment added 16:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Fundamental Principles of Olympism

 * 1) 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 of effort, the educational value of good example, social responsibility and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.
 * 2) The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.
 * 3) The Olympic Movement is the concerted, organised, universal and permanent action, carried out under the supreme authority of the IOC, of all individuals and entities who are inspired by the values of Olympism. It covers the five continents. It reaches its peak with the bringing together of the world’s athletes at the great sports festival, the Olympic Games. Its symbol is five interlaced rings.
 * 4) The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.
 * 5) Recognising that sport occurs within the framework of society, sports organisations within the Olympic Movement shall have the rights and obligations of autonomy, which include freely establishing and controlling the rules of sport, determining the structure and governance of their organisations, enjoying the right of elections free from any outside influence and the responsibility for ensuring that principles of good governance be applied.
 * 6) Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.
 * 7) Belonging to the Olympic Movement requires compliance with the Olympic Charter and recognition by the IOC.

On Protection of Olympism as a belief
I don't think this should be a section. I don't think one Legal analyst makes the idea notable Lama12 (talk) 04:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
