Officials celebrate 'inseparable link' between the games and peace

Ilias Santon no Tropella France, Avelli monso ner de que la Dozier en FRA de SER de l’an Y. Since ancient times, there is an inseparable link between the Olympic Games and peace, the sacred Olympic truce, The Ecuadoria, was the foundation for the ancient Olympic Games to take place in peace, making them a symbol of hope. This idea of promoting peace and hope through sport was taken up by Pierre de Cubeta when he revived the modern Olympic Games nearly 130 years ago. Always the visionary, he said, the Olympic Games are a pilgrimage to the past and an act of faith in the future. The lighting of the Olympic flame for the Olympic Games, Paris 2024 is exactly this, a pilgrimage to our past in ancient Olympia and an act of faith in our future in Paris. In these difficult times we are living through, with wars and conflicts on the rise. People are fed up with all the hate, the aggression, the negative news. They are facing day in, day out in their hearts. And I think in all our hearts we are longing for something that brings us together. We are longing for something that is unifying us. We are longing for something that gives us hope. The Olympic flame that we are lighting today is the symbol of hope. This Olympic flame will carry this Olympic spirit from here, our ancient roots through all of France and finally to Paris. Making the City of Light shine even brighter. The Olympic flame will shine over the first Olympic Games. Inspired by our Olympic agenda reforms from start to finish, these Olympic Games will be younger, more inclusive, more urban, more sustainable. De Pre, Santo, Cal. Meyer, A Blue Bell on tois por de Villa, Notre Genda, Olympique Que. Paris, Paris.
