Pierre, baron de Coubertin was indeed a key figure in the revival of the Olympic Games. He was instrumental in founding the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, with the aim of reviving the ancient Olympic Games. Two years later, in 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece, fulfilling Coubertin’s vision. These Games marked the beginning of the modern Olympic movement, which has since become one of the most significant international sporting events, promoting peace, unity, and athletic excellence across the globe.
