What Olympians say about Olympic Spirit

				Jean-Claude Killy "I think it is extremely important that young people be approached in between the Olympic Games, which only take place every four years. And how do you manage to communicate with them? Well, with an educational programme like Olympic Spirit, where they can really try out all the sports and learn about the correct movements. It is compact and practical. To be honest, I was sceptical at first, but the idea is fantastic and I hope we will find very soon more Olympic Spirit projects everywhere." Jean-Claude Killy (France) - Olympic Champion 1968 Grenoble - Triple Gold
				H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco "Let's keep the Olympic Spirit alive." H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco - Olympic Bobsleigh Competitor 1988 Calgary - 1992 Albertville - 1994 Lillehammer 1998 Nagano - 2002 Salt Lake City

Sergey Bubka (Ukraine) - Olympic Champion 1988 Seoul - Gold Medal - 1992 Barcelona 1996 Atlanta - 2000 Sydney
				Irena Szewinska "Olympic Spirit is a place where children in particular can learn about the Olympic Ideal and about all sport and, who knows, one day they might develop into wonderful athletes themselves."
