| The Academy
If you had lived 100 years ago, probably you wouldn’t
have known that the first Olympic Games were being held
in Athens. But today the Olympic Games are followed
by over 5 billion people from all corners of the world
and no matter what race, colour or religion all top
athletes compete together in one city every four years.
Although we are a small country and our athletes have
never won any medals in the Olympic Games, the spirit
of Olympism should be in the attitude of every athlete
who loves sports.
The Malta Olympic Academy is constantly working to
promote the values of Olympism such as:
Unity and friendship among people;
Physical and moral development;
Fair play etc.
It also reminds athletes of the noble words of Pierre
de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games:
“Effort is the supreme joy and success is not
a goal but a means to aim higher”.
To help spread the idea of Olympism, the MOA organizes
seminars and courses. It also has an Olympic Museum
and a Sports Library at the University Sports Complex.
Help us build a better world through sport.
